Overton Square

Overton Square is an area of Midtown that is roughly bordered by Madison Avenue on the north, Monroe Avenue on the south, South Cooper Street on the east, and Florence Street on the west. Though originally named for the literal "square" on which it sat, the area directly surrounding the block is now considered to be part of Overton Square. In recent years, many of the Square's businesses have closed and the popularity of the area has diminished, somewhat. Nevertheless, it is still a common destination for locals and tourists who are looking for somewhere to eat, shop, or be entertained.
