THE FLATIRON BUILDING AT MADISON SQUARE PARK MADISON SQUARE PARK “ I have a strong affinity for the Madison Square Park neighborhood. To me, it best reflects the pulsating cultural momentum of modern-day New York. It is a neighborhood that inspires, a destination to uncover the latest art, discover trend-forward fashion and furniture and experience the most talked about restaurant openings. It truly is the defining center of Manhattan. ” Martin Brudnizki, Principal, Martin Brudnizki Design Studio MADISON SQUARE PARK GASTRONOMY The Flatiron District is New York’s most storied epicurean neighborhood. It is where a three-starred Michelin restaurant is situated opposite the birthplace of the gourmet hamburger trend. At the heart is an array of impressive culinary options, from avant-garde international to casual but lofty wood-burning oven pizzerias. EPICUREAN The secret sources for New York’s gourmands are located at the doorstep of 45 East 22nd Street. New York’s best chefs shop the local greenmarkets. The city’s most popular Italian food hall, Eataly, faces Madison Square Park. Fifth Avenue and Broadway are a food lover’s dream, featuring savory cheeses, charcuteries, French boulangeries, exotic teas, and artisanal salad makers. EATALY ART & CULTURE This is a neighborhood that inspires. Whether it is art, fashion, or accessories for the home, beloved designer labels co- exist with the unexpected.

  • Download Report (PDF)
    Dear Community Partners, “Challenging” seems both an accurate and yet inadequate word to describe the last year as we confronted - as a nation and as a community - a series of crises from public health and economic dislocation to reckonings over racial justice and equity. Through it all, the Union Square Partnership played an important role in seeking to keep residents and businesses informed and connected, guiding them to resources, and working with relevant city agencies to support the district. What started as a COVID response turned to a COVID recovery agenda and by the fall of 2020, we released the #USQNext District Recovery Plan. This plan was aimed at accelerating the resumption of business activity and introducing quality of life improvements to continue the upward trend the neighborhood was enjoying prior to the pandemic. UNION SQUARE-14TH STREET HAS DEMONSTRATED INCREDIBLE RESILIENCE OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND THE DISTRICT IS WELL-POSITIONED TO REBOUND This year’s Annual Report is organized around the five pillars of the recovery plan, including reemphasizing core services like sanitation, beautification, and public safety coordination, bolstering our marketing efforts, and pursuing exciting new projects in the bold District Vision Plan released this past January. Most important, we would like to take a moment to express gratitude for the tireless dedication of frontline workers and essential service providers who kept our city functioning and to acknowledge the loss of loved ones that has affected so many. We hold each of you in our hearts. We are committed to championing the district’s recovery With spring blooming in our area, vaccinations on the rise, and life through the vital programs outlined in our #USQNext District Recovery Plan.

Located in The Beekman Hotel, Temple Court has earned high marks for both Chef Colicchio's signature style and seasonal take on classic dishes as well as for the restaurant and bar's meticulously appointed decor. Here he tells us how the restaurant pays homage to the neighborhood's history. Watch the video at: http://twn.nyc/TempleCourt "A lot of what we do here at Temple Court starts with this idea of bringing back the classics and making them modern. It's all a metaphor for what's going on Downtown. What's old is new, what's new is old - it's all coming back again," notes Chef/Owner Colicchio. "Walking from the Oculus to Temple Court, you can literally visit the future and the past of Lower Manhattan within 15 minutes," adds Simmons. Temple Court was one of the most highly anticipated restaurant openings in Lower Manhattan and is part of the wave of established names and up-and-coming food stars joining the neighborhood's ranks.
