Change is in the air in this flourishing section of Manhattan. Union Square, once a hangout for drug dealers and scene of protest rallies, has been renovated and transformed. A Greenmarket fills the square with fresh produce four times a week, drawing patrons from all over the city, and the neighborhood around the square is attracting an increasing number of new apartments, shops, and restaurants. The shops and lively eating places now extend up Fifth Avenue into the once-neglected Flatiron District, named for the building at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway at 23rd Street. Quiet Madison Square, opposite the Flatiron Building, recently became the site of two of the city’s hottest restaurants and is receiving its own restoration. No change was needed in Gramercy Park, the most European of the city’s neighborhoods.

Located in the bottom of the W Union Square, this club hosts a beautiful crowd. Olives, the bar in the hotel lobby is located above, but closes early-so the crowd from Olives tends to make their way down to Underbar early. On weekend nights, Underbar tends to be quite exclusive, so dress appropriately and go early!
