Photo by myself in Union Square.
This public area is constantly filled with people, performers and vendors. At times, the space is used for vigils or public protest.
Hurrah, a long weekend! Mark and I are looking forward to a restful few days, though Mark has to work.
The city is always a bit quieter on the holidays. Usually, since so many people take the long weekend off, the trains and streets are emptier. My commute to work on Friday was desolate by comparison.
Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! Do you have any special plans?

LOVE IT! I think the whole of NY has a great energy but you're right, Union Square is particularly amazing. :)

Hi Sean
What a nice block to live on? I'd have a tough time with the constant crowds. I'm sure the apartments facing the back are quieter.
Thanks Lou!
Hi Ken
Yes indeedy. Actually I went by on Sunday and there was a huge Taiwanese festival with food vendors and performers. I'll post a photo from it later.
Hi Lily
What a restful weekend? Memorial Day is perfectly scheduled for the beginning of the summer, making such wanderings possible.
Thanks Paz!
it is my favorite place to sit and watch.
I like the pictures with crowds of people in them. A lot going on.
