Union Square is a neighborhood located between 14th and 17th streets, and provides one of the more packed sightseeing experiences for visitors of New York City. The area's two most noted attractions are undoubtedly the subway station and Union Square Park. The subway station provides easy transportation throughout the city of New York, while the park provides a perfect place to relax, complete with popular statues of George Washington and Mahatma Gandhi. Union Square is also host to a greenmarket which provides fresh farm produce.
Although the entire area of Union Square provides fascinating sights and history, the park in particular has long been noted for both political activity and political protest. Union Square's surrounding neighborhoods include Chelsea, Flatiron District and Greenwich Village.
