Manhattan: Union Square.

Manhattan Union Square Set apart as a "park" in 1811, no doubt Union Square will go down in history for other reasons than Klein's and the fact that it was once the city's fashionable residential section. At the extreme right is the famous Union Square Hotel, erected in 1870 by the Brevoort Estate.
