Union Square
From street vendors and break-dancers to protest rallies and activism, the lively area known as Union Park stretches from 14th Street to 17th Street, and from Union Square East (Fourth Avenue/Park Avenue South) to University Place. Most of the action is located within Union Square Park, a former burial ground that has since transitioned into a bustling city park.
