You’ve probably heard about all you can drink brunches, but an all you can drink dinner?!
Welcome to Piola in Union Square, a large Italian eatery where on Wednesday nights ladies can have unlimited house wine (red or white) with any entrée after 8pm.As you can imagine it’s full of groups…
I’m going to simply say that I really enjoy this, and kind of can’t believe I didn’t notice it being that I work down the street. I would’ve said something encouraging like “we’re all people,” then walked away a little embarrassed. I don’t like public speaking.
A very cool project at Union Square by Improv Everywhere. This podium was brought there by the group and just left there with a little sign to “say something nice.” The result is just great.

Shot in a vérité style, TROLLHUNTER is the story of a group of Norwegian film students that set out to capture real-life trolls on camera after learning their existence has been covered up for years by a government conspiracy. A thrilling and wildly entertaining film, TROLLHUNTER delivers truly fantastic images of giant trolls wreaking havoc on the countryside, with darkly funny adherence to the original Norwegian folklore.

I was walking around Union Square and I found this sitting on the main area of the square. HBO was promoting Game of Thrones with a street team. You can actually sit on the throne and the photographer will take a photo of you. Then, you have the option of e-mailing the photo to yourself, sending it to Twitter and Facebook. All the photos taken are also featured in HBO’s Game of Thrones Facebook page. Tune in to HBO to watch the series starting on April 17th! And if you can, read the first book, A Game of Thrones before the premiere.
This bronze sculpture of Mahatma Gandhi by Kantilal B. Patel was installed on a traffic island on the southwest corner of Union Square Park in 1986, the 117th anniversary of Gandhi’s birth, one year after a major renovation of the park. A reminder of his calmness and resolve in the face of adversity is perfect for one of the busiest areas in New York City.
The monument, donated by the Gandhi Memorial International Foundation and underwritten by Mohan B. Murjani of Murjani International, Ltd., was installed at Union Square because of the tradition of protest associated with the park. After its installation the monument became an instant pilgrimage site, with an annual ceremony taking place on Gandhi’s birthday, October 2.
