MTA Subway – Union Square

If you’re on the N/R and want to transfer to the L, get a seat at the back (Queens bound) or the front (Brooklyn bound) for the easiest transfer right from the platform.

 

Union Square Park

Start your visit at the Greenmarket – where you’re likely to drop a lot of hard earned loot – and then visit the dog run, ending with the performers/college students at the south end of the park.

 

Tibet House

Visit this urban oasis during one of the center’s special events and you’ll be treated to all that is special and magical about this Buddhist Mecca.

 

Flatiron Lounge

Satisfy your interest in the art of Mixology at this art deco lounge.  End your work day with a perfectly concocted Manhattan or ask the bartender for a suggestion.

 

Blue Smoke

This packed barbeque joint is serving up awesome ribs (Texas Salt & Pepper Beef Ribs), perfect mac & cheese and collared greens.  Start with the deviled eggs!  Jazz music is served on the side.

 

Garden of Eden

A really beautiful and small market with a great selection of fruits & veggies.  Come for lunch and grab a delicious sandwich.  Come after 8pm and it’s half off the prepared foods.

 

Coffee Shop

We have a soft spot for this chill (and still chic) joint.  Their Jazzy Brunch is fun (try the English Grill) and the tuna over greens is a favorite.

 

Union Square Greenmarket

Our favorite place to shop for locally grown foods – just be warned, you have to be tolerant of crowds.  You must go to the Red Jacked Orchards and Rick’s Picks stands!

 

Rainbow Falafel

People line up during lunch for the best Falafel in the city.  And at $4, it’s the best deal around. Add a side of Grape Leaves or Fried Cauliflower!

 

Beads of Paradise

The best bead and stone store in all of Manhattan!  Their selection and customer service is top notch - as is their selection of pre-made jewelry and unique accessories.

 

Journelle Lingerie

A unique and elegant lingerie store offering the best in style and luxury – the fitting rooms are overly comfortable and offer chocolate!  Many steps above that “other” lingerie store.

 

Dig In Seasonal Market

Great spot to get a healthy and seasonal meal to-go!  We like the Spicy Meatballs with Spanish Brown Rice, Sweet Potato Casserole, Slaw and Tomato & Cucumber Salad.

 

Boqueria

Incredible and authentic Spanish Tapas! Enjoy Sangria and a meal of Cojonudoi, Datiles con Beicon, Salteado de Setas, Gambas al Ajillo and Patatas Bravas.

 

Flatiron Lounge

If you want a table to enjoy your deliciously and expertly made cocktails, make reservations ahead of time.  We love the Beijing Peach and the Dark & Stormy.

 

Millesime

Awesome place to relax and have a fishbowl sized cocktail (which are delicious) and one of the best Caesar Salads in all of Manhattan.
