I agree with the above recommendation to eat at Whole Foods, but you can also walk back up Broadway and eat at Eataly on 23rd and Fifth Ave. That's an experience in and of itself. Or hit the green market when its open. Can't go wrong in the area. THere's even a breakfast cafe on the second floor near the Barnes and Nobles. For diner type food I like Joe Juniors on 16th and Third. But if you want high end stuff eat at the restaurants on the West side of Union Sq.
If the choice were to stay near union square or upper west side near Central Park which would be the better choice as for nearby attractions, restaurants, ease of walking to 911 museum & new tower.

I personally think Union Square is too far from the Freedom Tower and 911 to walk to. Central Park is even further away. In either case you'll be most likely using the subway or taxi. Central Park is close to the Museum mile (Met, Moma, Frick, Natural History) and Columbus Circle. Union Square is closer to Greenwich Village, Soho, China Town, Empire State Building, Highline. Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and Broadway are in between the two locations you mentioned. As far as restaurants go, regardless of where you stay, there's an overabundance of places to eat in any price range.
