One of the greatest places in Massachusetts and really it's just a suburb of Boston but a very amazing one. Not a very high income neighborhood - somewhere in the middle or lower middle and absolutely packed full of great Latin Eateries, especially Brazilian. The Brazilian capital of Boston probably. A whole bunch of different Brazilian places to eat including the two Pastelarias that are amazing - Somerville and Vitoria Pasteleria - and then Oasis Bakery and Oasis Cafe just inside Medford are two of the greatest eating establishments in the whole country. One of them makes great acai bowls and perfect Caldo de Cana and incredible Sucos straight from Brazil, whereas the other right next door has some of the best Brazilian buffet food you'll ever try including most of the stuff in Brazil. The wet stews are absolutely Second To None just make sure that you order all you can eat without the meat because it's a lot cheaper than trying to get that stuff by the pound or the buffet including the average BBQ meat.

In the summer however, with more people coming out and using the path, I've been extremely unimpressed. Especially the end all the way towards Davis Square, there are dirty needles all over the ground everywhere you look on the sides of the path with blood soaked gauze from people using drugs and discarding their biohazards all over the path, forgetting the fact that there's trash cans all along the path. I walk my dog along the path and have to constantly watch out for both her and I and where we're walking and what's on the ground because of how disgustingly dangerous it is to step on something like this.

The Prospect Hill Monument is a stone structure in the shape of a mini Castle & is located in Somerville, Massachusetts just outside of Boston. This is a residential area with homes. It is also a historic site & provides panoramic views of Boston & surrounding cities. There is also a small park in this neighborhood here with green grass, park benches & a good spot for picnicking & relaxing. It's great place to visit Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall with a changing natural New England landscape. BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU PARK OTHERWISE YOU MAY GET A TICKET. Park only at the signs where it says it's OK to Park; it's a residential area. You can also visit here by Mass Transit too. This site is only a few blocks away & up the hill from the bustling heart of Union Square. There are a lot of local businesses & eateries there. The medieval fortress tower was constructed out of stone & steel. It was built in 1903 to commemorate the site's military importance during the Revolutionary & Civil Wars. The Tower stands 4 stories tall. Climb the stairs to the the first outdoor open deck, & you'll see great views of Boston, Somerville, & Cambridge. The inside of the tower & top were open pre-pandemic periodically at various times. Check the website for current info & updates. Be sure to go all around the tower on the ground level. There are plaques with lots of detailed info all around the tower. Also check out all the signs throughout the Park telling you even more info about this spot & how it was instrumental in uniting the colonies. On January 1, 1776, General George Washington himself who would later become the first President of the United States, during the Revolutionary War hoisted the very first national flag of America on this very spot. It was called the Grand Union Flag & predates The Famous Betsy Ross Flag. Our current red & white Stripes with 50 Stars flag is not flown here. Lots of people miss this. Zoom in with your camera & you will see the First Flag of America. The Grand Union Flag is still flown here on top of the tower. It has red & white stripes but with the blue British Union Jack in the corner instead of the Stars. It's Pretty Cool that they still fly our very first national flag here. To make it worth your trip be sure to visit the extremely popular Union Square Donuts which has Great Donuts & is only a few blocks away. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!

As he was originally from Boston, it seems a fitting tribute to his memory.

Checking out the beautiful city while making our way to this marketplace. The market is fun. There's vendors outside selling souvenirs, treats and sports merch. Inside were food vendors. We were still full from our breakfast so unfortunately we weren't able to check out the food that was available. Such a bummer cause I'm sure there was plenty of fun options available! I'm always down to try the local fare! From what we did see outside, it's a lot of the same stuff in the stores in the strip. I really love the concept of this place. Food, treasures and vibes. My daughter and I were fortunate enough to check out vibe and treasures. And it was fun! I'm happy we got to peep this place out. I don't know when we'll be back but I'll recommend this location to any of my friends coming here.

Have you ever tried eating lamb stew, Cajun spiced lamb shanks with jambalaya, and lamb bolognese with rosemary gnocchi...all with just a spoon? It is not pretty. It seems they have these takedowns from time to time with other kinds of food and I would certainly recommend you attend. BYOF though? Oh yeah, lamb swag is nothing short of amazing.

I couldn't tell…read moreyou what I ate here on my first trip with my parents before my first ever Boston Red Sox game in the mid 90's, but I do know that I had a blast coming here and seeing all the different food stands and random vendors lined below the building. I was able to return here for lunch a few weeks back in 2026 and I had just as much fun walking around now then I did back then. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon and a whole lot of people were trying to get some seafood, pizza, ice cream, baked goods, Italian, and various other things and it was cool to see this place still so lively so many years later. Now, I'll be honest here, the food I ate kind of sucked but that's just one of the vendors fault, not the entire hall so I'm still going to give this place five stars. The building itself is stunning and is one of the original buildings in the area (If i'm not mistaken) and has a long hall of different food vendors, seating upstairs, and some restaurants downstairs as well as mall kiosk like shops (get rid of the crappy temu vendors, please). Overall, There's like 50 different places you could eat at that will give you drastically different experiences, so why not come as much as you can given the opportunity. This trip was my first time in about 7 years and even though the food I got was not good, I don't regret coming back to Faneuil Hall and I will absolutely be coming back on my next trip to Boston.

My daughter and I had a great time meeting people. Shopping for gifts to bring home. And just breathing in the Boston air. I'm happy we got to check this place out.
