Union Square used to be a nexus of bleeding edge nightlife. 33 Union Sq. West housed the second incarnation of Andy Warhol’s Factory. His favorite LSD-saturated haunt, Max’s Kansas City, was a few blocks north. And the late Palladium (now an NYU dorm, natch) was a stone’s throw away on 14th St. Now, a team of nightlife vets hopes to revive the magic with the Union Square Lounge. More»

Cyclists in New York put up with a lot. Maniacal cabbies. Clueless pedestrians. Streets riddled with potholes. Expert thieves well-versed in the art of breaking through Kryptonite locks. Halloween presents the perfect opportunity for local bike enthusiasts to scare off their opponents with costumes more intimidating then their lightweight means of conveyance. So it’s perfect that Critical Mass will hold a festively-attired bike tour (starting on the north side of Union Square) around the city at 7pm tonight. More»

[Channing Tatum. All photos by JACKIE SNOW for PMc] GO HERE for more photos from the Fighting premiere.

It was a one-two punch last Tuesday when Channing Tatum and co-stars attended the premiere of the latest underdog brawl flick, Fighting, at the Regal Union Sqaure Stadium 14 in NYC. The movie also stars Terrance Howard as a scam artist turned manager in the bare-knuckling fighting world. Also at the premiere was Tatum’s real-life fiance, Jenna Dewan — the two met on the set of Step Up. Fighting will duke it out at the box office this weekend when it debuts along with Beyonce’s Obsessed and  Jamie Foxx’s The Soloist. More photos below… More»

We are back to the new hot party accessory everyone! BIKES! I caught this man chillin” at Union Square among fellow riders and sporting a tie-dyed Viva Radio shirt. Weirdly, I had already met him a week prior in Brooklyn. I had asked him about that very same shirt (that he happened to be  wearing at the time). He claimed his friend who works for the radio station gave it to him… but who knows. I think his hot pink short shorts also give his outfit an extra kick, not to mention match his prime fashion statement… a.k.a. his midlife crisis antidote.

Us normal folk are apparently not the only ones who like to chill out in Union Square and listen to some good jams. This man dressed in a sari-like wrap, a feather halo, and a top hat with a garland of flowers seems to as well. After walking around leisurely for 15 minutes he decided to plop down right next to me and listen to the soothing melodies of a fellow union square regular. To me he looks like and angelic Buddha, but everyone has a right to their own individual unique style right? So if not a helmet, I guess a halo. Union Square must be a pit-stop on his way toward enlightenment.
