Union Square

This place is a great place to walk around and shop. Not to mention that the Bloomingdales shopping center isnt too far from here. During Christmas they put up a huge tree and the place is just breath taking. This place has so much History to it as well, I highly recommend visiting it at least once.

Its lovely, especially during the holiday season with all the lights, decorations, and the outside ice rink in the middle.

I was surprised how busy the streets were on weeknights. The shops were still busy close to closing time – 9pm. Were these tourists or locals? Do locals dine out in the city on weeknights?

Lots of well known American stores and brand name stores in spacious, well lit buildings. Wide sidewalks, plenty of space to walk comfortably. Looks clean and new. Many unique restaurants – some decades old.

The square itself adds a nice clear space to look at the surrounding buildings which are different heights and colours.

The actual plaza is nice but this place is filled with idiots who are shopping nearby

Lots to see and do for the first time visitor. Cable car to Pier 39 is a must. Shoppping at Union Square-the zoo, the exploratorium, the ferry building and much, much more. The Golden Gate Bridge is gorgeous and you can walk across it, too.
I’ve stayed in many hotels-all near Union Square. The vibe in SF is friendly.

beautiful place , where i spent time few years ago , when you get there if you’re still walking you must be probably a little bit tired , now you know what you can do , enjoy , have a seat in a banch and eat an ice cream , try to speak with a coolone then you can go dinner with it , why not !

you don’t have to rush
i take the word for saying hello to my old good friends from SF California
from lionel denise the frenchy who was living on Geary street , i’m still alive , i’m in France , i’m cool.
TAKE CARE TO ALL OF YOU

Oh man, all of the students in the overseas program couldn’t wait to go back to Union Square! But that’s because they had money. Lots of money. Nothing but Ross is cheap at Union Square, but everything is fun to look at. (Especially Tiffany&Co, because they put these horrible bag-looking dresses on mannequins and show them off through the windows as if they’re actually cute.)

But anyway, check out Niketown. Just don’t buy their shoes, ‘cause the only ones cheaper than $200 are ugly.

good shopping. yay!

and grace

If I had read up on the history of this place, I probably would have been more excited! It seemed to be a great place to read the paper, work from a laptop, or wait for a friend. I was told that one side of Union Square houses the underprivilaged of the city, and is a good place to get mugged or buy some illigal substances. I didn’t get that feeling when I was there. Go figure
