Union Square 14th Street NYC Union Square at 14th Street & Broadway is a really interesting part of New York City. Union Square has long been a gathering place for demonstrators over the years. The square itself has an eclectic display of statues from George Washington unveiled in 1856 to Mahatma Gandhi. This is a popular market area and the Greenmarket, held on the North corner of the park, offers a great variety of fresh foods and plants brought here by local farmers. Union Square area is another part of New York that would be a good location to base yourself in the city. It is a hive of activity and something is always happening. With many shops and businesses in the area it has a real buzz about it. Why not sit on one of the many park benches and do some people watching and just take a break from the hectic pace that makes this beautiful city so exciting. We have stayed in an apartment not far from here as well as other parts of Manhattan. Let us style a holiday for you in The Big Apple.
