Is Union Market worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Union Market works.

A buzzy, design-forward food hall with dozens of vendors and a fast-gentrifying district of murals and rooftop bars around it — a good local-feeling meal-and-drinks stop. The catch: it's away from the tourist core, can be packed and pricey at weekends, and feels self-consciously hip rather than historic.
