New Hotel Will Rise on 13th St.

Union Square will host its first-ever Night Market by Urbanspace. Union Square is no stranger to Urbanspace, as the company is responsible for putting on the park’s beloved annual Holiday Market. However, this will be the first time Urbanspace will operate an open-air food market during summer nights.

The Union Square Night Market will run for four Thursdays, starting July 11th. More than 20 vendors will come together to bring New Yorkers some of the best bites in the city. It will all take place along the South Plaza of Union Square Park.

So whether you’re interested in grabbing something to eat on your summer commute home or planning a date night, the Union Square Night Market will serve as the perfect venue for either!

The Strand has made it a lot easier to get what you need without having to dig for it in the store. Just order what you want online and pick it up at the store a couple of days later. You’ll save the shipping fee and all the time it takes to poke through the stacks. Of course, if you’re an inveterate browser, as many of us are, feel free to keep exploring. That’s what makes the Strand so much fun.

The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation maintains a cool interactive map that shows you all the places it is currently working to preserver the Village’s most important landmarks. They are very busy people.

An incredible story about how peepers spend hours looking up the skirts of girls who sit on the steps of Union Square Park.

Soon to occupy the former Forbidden Planet space is Zumiez, a store with all the latest skateboard fashions.
