Union HIll
It’s always a good idea to get suggestions for places to eat from locals. The Hangover Pub was a great one as the restaurant is also known as the bacon restaurant. I tried the chicken and waffles which were very good. The Kimchi bacon rice balls which they are known for were also very good. #lifeatexpediagroup #hangoverpub #worcesterma
