Bow Market is amazing. It's one of the most unique spaces in Boston right now and we're lucky to have it. I'm sort of mystified that, not only has it not attracted more national attention compared to similar projects like The Piazza in Northern Liberties, but I feel like the majority of Bostonians still don't even know what it is.
 
that whole complex is literally the best thing to have happened to activity in Union Square in the past 10 years. The GLX would be - but - it's been closed about as long as its been open.

Bow has singlehandedly changed both the vibes and the gravity of the square. Before it opened, there really wasn't much reason to go to the Somerville Ave part of the square. Heck, I've heard from some friends that work at the businesses, that the new crowds have caused the P.A. Lounge/Union Tavern ownership to turn over a new leaf, to the point that folks are organizing sapphic, bi and kink nights there.

Yeah Union Tavern is where a queer night called Boudoir is often located. Its a much needed space/event.
