That is the access shaft for the new 2nd Ave Subway. The subway will run from 125th Street to the financial district. Phase One, which will take 45 months, there are 4 phases, involves the "Q" line which will run from 93rd Street to 63rd Street and 2nd Ave. It will then connect on Lexington Ave. with the "F" line where passengers can continue south through Manhattan and into Brooklyn. The workmen told me that the shaft is 9 stories deep and there will be 16 ADA accessible stations.
On my way to a birthday party I happened to come upon what was in the 70's called a happening or a Be-in. I found out later that it is now called a meet-up. Some one twitters everyone to meet at a particular place at a particular time dressed in a particular way or for a particular reason. If you happen to be walking around the city and see a bunch of people dressed as Santa or carrying pillows for a pillow fight, it's a meet-up.
This meet-up was to come to Union Square in your underwear.

You have this amazing knack of finding interesting things to photograph! The 'no trousers' thing happened here in England too.
