If you have never traveled to New York (be sure to do so as soon as you have the chance), the first image that probably comes to your mind is that of towering gray skyscrapers presiding over crowded avenues. And yes, it is, New York is a city where the hustle and bustle and energy flow all day long., but it also offers New Yorkers and outsiders alike ample green spaces in which to stroll and get away from the asphalt.. There is life beyond the world-famous Central Park so often portrayed in the movies. And, although this park deserves its fame on its own merits, today we want to tell you about another place that, if you spend a few days in New York, we recommend you to visit: Union Square Park.
