The Union Square Partnership has teamed with Big Onion Walking Tours to create a free 90-minute walking tour called Union Square: Crossroads of New York.

The tour explores the social and political history of the Union Square neighborhood through discussions of the people, history, architecture, and forces that have shaped this community. You’ll hear how Union Square got its name, see where the legendary Tiffany & Co. once stood, and learn how to read the clock (yes, it’s a clock!) on “The Metronome” sculpture and so much more!
