In this episode of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast, host Justin Vacula takes listeners on a walking tour of Union Square in New York City.
Recorded in February 2025, Justin provides vivid descriptions of the area, highlighting local vendors, art installations, and notable landmarks such as statues (possibly of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln), Union Square Park amenities, and nearby shops like Whole Foods, Sephora, and Dunkin Donuts.
He also mentions the chilly winter weather, the presence of chess and backgammon players, and the general atmosphere of this bustling NYC locale.
