Top 10 Manhattan Apartment Buildings That Celebrate Labor Day

Union Square has long been associated with labor so it is not surprising that many of the residential buildings surrounding it may not have union labels but “union” addresses. Not all of them are architectural masterpieces nor historical monuments but they carry a lot of the city’s history for important causes. The most prominent development on the square, the four, pyramid-capped towers of Zeckendorf Towers. 1 Union Square South brought an artistic facade and large and modern retail spaces that would begin to obscure the memory of 14^th Street’s legendary Luchow’s Restaurant and Diamond Jim Brady. Some architectural glory persists at the Bank of the Metropolis Building at 31 Union Square West, especially with its fine outdoor dining. The big action nowadays is the large farmer’s market where regional growers bring their produce in big trucks.
