Consolidated Edison Building
This landmark building, constructed as a 19-story tower from 1911-1914 and enlarged to 26 stories in 1929, is still visible from some distance away. Its greatest claim to fame is its clock tower, with a loggia above the clock and just below the roof that is beautifully illuminated at night, often in blue but sometimes in another color or changing colors. You can recognize it because the lights are partially blocked by four pillars on each side. This remains the headquarters of ConEdison, so the interior is not a tourist attraction but you can walk around the exterior, and the upper reaches of the tower are very easily viewable by looking east from Union Square Park.

Union Square
An important and historic intersection in New York City, situated where Broadway and the Bowery came together in the early 19th century. Union Square Park (3.5 acres) is known for its impressive equestrian statue of George Washington, erected to Henry Kirke Brown's design in 1856. In April 1861, soon after the fall of Fort Sumter, Union Square was the site of a patriotic rally that is thought to have been the largest public gathering in North America up to that time. A newer addition, added in 1986, is a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the southwest corner of the park. Union Square is also known for its Greenmarket and for its history as a focus for political demonstrations, including protests at the 2004 Republican National Convention. Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Union Square became a primary public gathering point for mourners and those seeking information about missing loved ones. People created spontaneous memorials in Union Square, and the square was the setting for vigils held to honor the victims of the attacks.

Strand Bookstore
One of the foremost used bookstores in New York, reportedly housing over 18 miles of shelf space, all of it crammed to capacity. They also carry new books and offer loads of merchandise, including stationery, book accessories, and branded tote bags and apparel sporting their famous logo. A recent renovation has opened up the space tremendously, though that will be a surprise to any newcomer, who will marvel at the wall-to-wall crowds.
