FYI, for those driving to MIT, I learned from my experience of attending the Boston Perl Monger's meeting at E51 last week: Probably the closest pay lot is in the basement of 1 Memorial Drive (https://goo.gl/maps/vkmzK47mELt). (That's the building where the Microsoft NERD Center is located.) After hours parking there is a flat $12 (cash or credit). The building is only accessible from the outbound side of Memorial Drive, so if you are commuting from the West, you need to loop around. Take Memorial Drive inbound, take the same left you would have normally taken for Wadsworth Street heading for E51, but use that cut-over to U-turn. Now heading outbound on Memorial Drive, take a right on Ames St., take a right on Main St., and take a right onto Memorial Drive in front of a large orange detour sign. The entrance to the garage seems to be poorly marked. No obvious signage. It's the first driveway on the right, past the building. Take the driveway to the end and the garage is on the right. The lobby of the building has a kiosk to pay for parking, but the building closes at 9 PM. A guard happened to let me in, but it might be simpler to just walk to the main garage door, and pay at the exit gate kiosk. (Plus, I believe the garage is staffed 24/7.) If the weather was bad, this garage would be your best bet, as you only have to be outside for the length of one building. You can enter MIT via the Sloan Building on Memorial, go to the 2nd floor, and take the pedestrian bridge over to E51. Alternatively: http://en.parkopedia.com/parking/locations/1_amherst_street_cambridge_ma_united_states_drt2yrteeb4/ suggested a garage at 350 Kendall St. for $9: http://www.pilgrimparking.com/boston-parking-garages/kendall-square-south-garage.htm It's a few more blocks to walk. Also, I observed a few empty spaces on Ames St., and supposedly on-street meters are free after 8 PM. (Once school resumes I wouldn't count on any spaces being available.) -Tom -- Tom Metro The Perl Shop, Newton, MA, USA "Predictable On-demand Perl Consulting." http://www.theperlshop.com/
