By Car
From MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE (from downtown Boston)
- Cross the MASS AVE BRIDGE and continue north until you reach Central Square.

- Go straight on PROSPECT STREET for 1 1/3 miles. You will cross four main intersections: Broadway, Hampshire, Cambridge, and Webster Streets.
- At WEBSTER STREET, you will see that PROSPECT STREET becomes one-way after the light. Proceed and stay in the left two lanes.
- You will go over a bridge. You will see a Dunkin Donuts on your left. There are two lanes that turn left at the bottom of the bridge; do not get
in the farthest left lane. PROSPECT STREET ends and you will turn left onto SOMERVILLE AVE.
- After turning left, get into the far right lane. There is lots of construction here, but stay as far right as you can and when you get to the
stoplight, bear right onto BOW STREET.
- Stay in the left lane on BOW STREET. When it “Y's” stay to the left, and when it “Y's” again, stay left. The second “Y” is a very sharp turn.
After you make the turn, you will see The Family Center across the street.
If you pass the Market Basket grocery store on your left, you have gone a block too far. Turn around and go back the way you came. Once you turn
around, you will see a small green building which is the bar, Tir Na Nog. The Family Center is the two-story yellow building next to it.

Porter Square T Stop on your right and a CVS Pharmacy on your left.

Center. Two small streets off to the right, CHURCH STREET and CARLTON STREET are right after the Market Basket.
