Union Square is a floor people cross, not a block people drink on. The 4/5/6, the L and the N/Q/R/W all surface into the same plaza and almost nobody stops there, because what faces the square is a greenmarket, a bank and a department store. The windows sit one street off it in every direction: Irving Place behind the park, 17th and 18th east of Broadway, Park Avenue South above 19th, and University Place running down toward Washington Square. Pete’s Tavern has held the Irving Place corner since the 1860s.
Everything below is within 1,320 ft, a quarter mile, of the middle of Union Square Park. Distances are straight line.
