Union Square

Personally, I do come here to shop, but I set aside half a day and I plan in advance where I'm going because the shopping is scattered over 6 square blocks, so it's really easy to run yourself ragged.  I see a lot of tourist families wandering around, looking tired.  My advice is to consult a map and plot out in advance which specialty shops you want to hit that aren't in your hometown (because a lot of them are at your local mall so why waste your vacation time here?).  Union Square itself is pretty, and a lot of people do come through here because of the cable cars, so I'll make a short list later of the unique shops I like - but for now, if you just want a bite and to rest your weary feet, try:

  • Emporio Rulli at the east end of the Union Square park
  • A drink at the Westin St Francis
  • Cheap eats in the Macy's Cellar
  • Eat under the stained glass at the Rotunda at Neiman Marcus
