Chess Anyone?

5/9/2013 - By Marea Edynak

No matter where you walk in NYC there is always something to amuse you.

On a warm and sunny day Union Square Park has about a dozen hustlers who will play chess with you for $5 a bet…..um, no, not a bet. That’s illegal. It’s a fee or a charge for a lesson. Whatever you call it, it’s worth $5 to have a nice photo with you in it to take home.

Union Square Park is between Broadway on the West and Fourth Avenue on the East and between East14 Street on the South and East 17^th Street on the North
