The look and feel of contemporary Union Square began to take shape in the 1960's with the arrival of Andy Warhol and his Factory, at 33 Union Square West. Other artists soon followed and the area began its renaissance. Today, Union Square is where Manhattan glamour meets history and the arts with the galleries of Chelsea, avant-garde Greenwich Village, the cutting-edge style of SoHo, the refreshing greenery of Gramercy Park, and the historic Flatiron District. Home to the prestigious Union Square Greenmarket, a haven for locally grown produce and fresh foods. The Union Square neighborhood, with its parks, shops, prestigious schools and universities, restaurants, and playgrounds is the epicenter of downtown living and within minutes of almost anywhere in Manhattan.
