Visiting
What to see, eat and drink in Union Square
OpenStreetMap maps 69 restaurants, 35 cafes and 20 bars and pubs counted in Union Square, and 13 named sights: museums and galleries, parks, monuments, viewpoints and other attractions. They are counted the same way as the places to stay: each place goes to the area whose centre is nearest, within that area's reach. This rule has no boundaries, so places near the edge can fall in a neighbouring area's count.
