Prospect Hill
Union Square is home to Prospect Hill, the site where it is rumored that George Washington first flew the American flag. Whether or not this is true, Prospect Hill is a great place to bring a sacked lunch and view the city of Boston.
Like most areas of Somerville, Union Square has had a facelift with new bars and restaurants popping up on every corner. Try PA's Lounge for a few drinks and Neighborhood Restaurant or Machu Picchu to cure your hunger pains.
Union Square is accessible by MBTA bus routes 85, 86, 87, 91, and CT2. Also, there is a proposed stop through this neighborhood with the future construction of the Green Line to Medford.

This restaurant in Somerville’s Union Square is billed as Mexican but is, in essence, Central American. Great chicken dishes served in a comfortable space near The Independent and Union Square Pizza. El Potro Mexican Grill has great open windows perfect for watching the locals trek up and down Somerville Avenue.
