Square - preposition on vs. at
Hi,
I'm wondering whether I should say
a) They met at Washington Square.
or:
b) They met on Washington Square.
Can you tell me what the difference is?
Thank you.

I would say at. The difference is where they physically are. Are they at the square (near it, by it, at a landmark there) or are they stood on top of the square?

Thank you so much. I find prepositions sometimes so confusing. But now I understand the difference between on and at a bit better.
