"I love it. It's a really cool place. I love hanging out here,"
"It's the vibe that we wanted to experience. We've never been out here after Thanksgiving. We're out here for people watching, eating,"
"You got to push your way in. Back in the days of Blondie's Pizza and stuff like that. I told her I'm reminiscing,"

Union Square was alive Friday with the sights and sounds of the holidays. Visitors said they visit for the holiday vibe, people-watching, and dining as much as for shopping. Many planned to do a portion of their shopping online while still treating a Union Square visit as a holiday necessity.
