An immigrant-worker demo in Union Square
A Union Square Demo, Bryant Park and Columbus Circle, New York, US - 2nd May 2006
Nosher meets up with Phil in the financial district before we head off to the East Village and Katz's Deli for lunch. However, we are greeted on our exit from the subway in Union Square to the sight of thousands of people protesting the new immigration bill recently passed by Congress. The day after is the final day of a whistle-stop return to New York, so with most of the day to play around with, Nosher dumps the luggage at the Marriott Courtyard on 40th Street and walks to nearby Bryant Park and the Public Library, before getting on the subway to head up to Central Park and wander back down to Columbus Circle.
