About this Neighborhood

Union Park is a stitched-together district of historic Saint Paul neighborhoods like Merriam Park and Lexington-Hamline, bordered by University Avenue and running down to the Mississippi. Many of those old identities still hold on, giving the area a layered, lived-in feel, with 18 restaurants averaging 4.4 stars. The Neighborhood Café is the local anchor, with Zait & Za'atar bringing Mediterranean cooking and GusGus adding to the mix. Antique shops, a flower store, and historic sites shape a district that leans charming and low-key, backed by five coffee shops and four parks.
