Union Square Cafe Updates the Cafe For the first time in its 27 years, Union Square Cafe will accept reservations for parties of more than six. The Danny Meyer restaurant has also done some renovating in the front cafe area, adding a banquette and a communal table, and eliminating tablecloths. A new family-style menu will be served in this part of the restaurant. Union Square Cafe, 21 East 16th Street, (212) 243-2040, unionsquarecafe.com.
