Wendy QiJuly 15, 2012Movie nights in union square! Showing the artist on July 14 -- happy Bastille day :)
Great place for kids to burn off energy chasing pigeons.
Will HigginsSeptember 3, 2011Beware of flash mob at 3pm. There's bound to be plenty of rabid hipsters about with nothing better to do then stink up the general vicinity .
Gustavo SaavedraJuly 23, 2015Nice place... Do not get out of the subway at Civic Center. Horrible place.
