About Union Square Events
Union Square Events is the events services business of Danny Meyer's renowned Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG). Created in 2006 in the up-and-coming Hudson Yards neighborhood to the West of Chelsea, the catering business was initially coined "Hudson Yards Catering." In 2010, the company was re-named "Union Square Events" in part to further align itself with the parent company (USHG) with whom it shares a dedication to culinary excellence and warm hospitality, and as a result of the company's expansion outside of catering into culture, sports and large-scale events. The sports business includes a selection of eateries at the Mets' Citi Field, Nationals Park in D.C., and the Saratoga Race Course featuring beloved Blue Smoke and Shake Shack restaurants, alongside new eateries El VeranoTaquer�a and Box Frites. Focusing on our commitment to culture and seasonality is Public Fare, an open-air cafe at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, home to the Public Theater's "Shakespeare in the Park". Union Square Events produces large-scale events committed to elevating our guests' dining experiences, from our signature Big Apple Barbecue Block Party in New York City's Madison Square Park, to the CNN Grill at South by Southwest and VeuveClicquot's Polo Classic on Governors Island.
