Union Square
A lively Manhattan city square famous for its green farmers' market and winter holiday market, with shopping and dining all around.
Union Square sits where Broadway meets Fourth Avenue. Since the 19th century it has been a center for rallies and parades, and the square is home to statues of Washington on horseback, Lincoln, and Gandhi. The Union Square Greenmarket, held on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, is one of New York's largest farmers' markets, selling seasonal fruit, cider, bread, and flowers. From mid-to-late November until Christmas, the square's south side fills with a holiday market of more than a hundred wooden huts. Nearby are the Strand bookstore, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's, and Greenwich Village is a short walk south. Subway: 4/5/6/L/N/Q/R/W to 14 St–Union Sq, with easy transfers.
