Join us on our next free walk – on each of our organized walking tours, we start or end near public transit, and usually end at a place where people can mingle/have a drink if they’d like to continue conversations.

We encourage you to use public transportation, walk, or bike to the start so that it is easy for you to head out afterwards. Updates will be available on our website & sent to all registered attendees before the event.

ROUTE:

Starting Location:  BU Bridge at the Comm Ave side.
We’ll meet at the wide corner sidewalk near “Lot H.” Look for the “WalkMassachusetts” sign. 

  • Getting there via public transportation: 
    • Green Line: take the B line and get off at either Amory Street or BU Central 
    • Bus: 47, 57, CT2 
    • BlueBikes: closest station is on Comm Ave by BU Central

Ending Location: La Fabrica, 450 Mass Ave (Central Square – Mass Ave near Brookline)
In the past, we have usually tried to be at a bar/restaurant where folks can make their own decisions about food or drink to continue chatting. Route is just about 2 miles, and we have prioritized shade in parks along the way.
