C HANGE IS IN THE AIR in this flourishing section of
Manhattan. Union Square, once a hangout for drug dealers
and scene of protest rallies, has been renovated and transformed.
A Greenmarket fills the square with fresh produce four times a week,
drawing patrons from all over the city, and the neighborhood around
the square is attracting an increasing number of new apart-
ments, shops, and restaurants. The shops and lively eating
places now extend up Fifth Avenue into the once-
neglected Flatiron District, named for the building at
the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway at
23rd Street. Quiet Madison Square, opposite the
Flatiron Building, recently became the site of two of
the city's hottest restaurants and is receiving its own
restoration. No change was needed in Gramercy Park,
the most European of the city's neighborhoods.
