Union Square results from the chaotic intersection of Broadway, Park Avenue, and 14th Street. Lots of protests happen here. Increasingly, it's becoming ground zero for New York's yoga fanatics and vegan health food nuts, not to mention NYU territory: some of the lucky bastards even have rooms overlooking the square.
Attractions
