The 5 Best Sights & Landmarks in Union Square, New York (NY)
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Dominating the southern end of the park is this artwork by Kristin Jones and Andrew Ginzel which has a digital display and a larger area where a metronome spits out smoke at certain times . On the left side of the work is a set of fifteen large LED digits, called "The Passage", which display the time in 24-hour format. The seven leftmost digits show the time in conventional 24-hour format, as hours (2 digits), minutes (2 digits), seconds (2 digits), tenths of a second (1 digit).

The Church of St Francis Xavier is a lovely church with a beautiful interior with many murals and icons, and special altar area. The church community, parish members and staff are most welcoming. I enjoy the programs that they have in the church including spirituality yoga where you can enjoy this wellness practice in a magnificent environment that is up lifting and has religious significance in the visual Biblical narrative.
