Union Square: What Matters Most?

Camp is now in session! Bring the whole crew for this family fun experience – it’s a store, a play space and a canteen store all in one! Stop in on Fifth Avenue for activities in the campitheater, rotating events, and only-in-usq treats from Milk Bar.

From Bombay to the Big Apple, this dramatic new Indian hangout eatery is bringing a 70’s flair to Union Square. Step into this decked-out space to try Indian fusion dishes like lamb shank with rogan josh sauce and roasted bone marrow with 5 spice naan.

Established over 120 years ago, Filson is the leading outfitter and manufacturer in high quality outdoor goods. At their new flagship NYC location on Broadway, find camping, hunting and climbing gear, all with a guaranteed lifetime warranty.
Vapiano is also done. Too bad.
Soon to arrive on 4th Ave. between 12th and 13th Streets is Schmackary’s Cookies, which allegedly sells more types of freshly baked cookies that any other cookie store.

A new bar-restaurant is now open at the Hyatt Union Square
At Bowery Road, a neighborhood American restaurant, Chef Ron Rosselli’s flavorful and thoughtfully prepared dishes are inspired by long relationships with local farmers and purveyors and loaded with seasonal produce from the Union Square Greenmarket. The restaurant takes its name from its location on 4th Avenue, which was formerly called Bowery Road when it served as the pathway to Peter Stuyvesant’s farm.
Located directly off the lobby, Bowery Road is open from 7am-11pm for breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.
Rosselli has also worked at Locanda Verde and The Standard Grill.
The hotel now also sports The Library of Distilled Spirits, which: “pays tribute to liquor makers and their craft with over 700 bottles made around the world. Explore the collection neat, or shaken and stirred into more than 150 classic cocktails. Barkeepers and encyclopedic volumes of single spirits will help you choose.”
The Fourth and Singl, the hotel’s two dining-drinking options, have closed. The two new establishments are operated by APICII, “a multi-concept restaurant company.”
