Liz and Sharon set out to cultivate the relationship between person and place, visitor and Union Square via a walking tour that offers participants a renewed perspective of Union and the businesses that drive it. By following enticing and riveting clues, WAP visitors will be led to various sites that highlight the area's diverse ethnic community through maps, histories and local facts.

Tried the angus? Who needs an iced coffee? Know the capital of Peru? Find the answers to these questions and more - take the walking tour of Union by following rhyming clues until you have reached the final destination--and add your own touch to Union Sq. in the final participatory project. Start the tour at the Grand Coffee House, located at 61 Union Square.
