Union Square
SQUARE
Union Sq is like the Noah's Ark of New York, rescuing at least two of every kind from the
curling seas of concrete. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to find a more eclectic cross-
section of locals gathered in one public place. Here, amid the tapestry of stone steps and
fenced-in foliage, it's not uncommon to find denizens of every ilk: suited businessfolk
gulping fresh air during their lunch breaks, dreadlocked loiterers tapping beats on their
tabla, skateboarding punks flipping tricks on the southeastern stairs, rowdy college kids
guzzling student-priced eats and throngs of protesting masses chanting fervently for vari-
ous causes.
