Michael Ayoub’s Fornino helped ignite New York’s artisanal pizza craze back in 2004. At Union Square, the longtime Dumbo favorite brings signature pies, sandwiches, crisp salads and seasonal specials inspired by the nearby Greenmarket. Expect blistered crusts, inventive toppings and a menu that celebrates both tradition and creativity.
Time Out Market Union Square is opening this fall at the ground floor of Zero Irving, bringing the best of New York’s culinary and cultural talent into one curated, 10,000-square-foot space. Seven kitchens, a bar, communal seating and an outdoor terrace all await in this vibrant new gathering place, along with performances by New York artists that celebrate the city’s creative energy.
The culinary lineup spans beloved names and rising stars—from wood-fired pizza and inventive patties to Mexico City–style tacos, stacked sandwiches, creative burgers and bold Thai and Indian flavors. Add to that a coffee and pastry counter with some of the city’s most loved spots, and Union Square is set to become a one-stop destination for eating, drinking and gathering.
