This weekend the site will be open on Saturday, May 25th for interior, roof, and sidewalk activities between the work hours of 7AM and 5PM as permitted by the City.

Life in Union Square is about to get a little tastier.

Loosen you belts, because sweet addition joins Breads Bakery on the west side of Union Square, which has already become a neighborhood hit with its sweet baked goods.

Curious about how the renovation of Union Square is proceeding? The Villager has all the details here. The bottom line: on schedule.

What used to be Wok to Walk on University Place between 12th and 13th is now Sausage Inc. selling…sausages.
