What is the best way for me to get to North Station in Boston and Dana Farber Cancer Institute? afternoon, half a Monday? Thank you!
To arrive at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in the Gare du Nord:
Riverside Green Line (D train)
Get off at Longwood, walk left up the hill on Chapel St. Turn left onto Longwood Ave. At the third light, turn right onto Binney St. and walk to Dana-Farber, on your right.
OR
Heath Street ("E" train)
Get off at the Longwood Medical Area stop at the corner of Huntington and Longwood Avenues. Walk up Longwood Ave., By the way Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston. Turn left onto Binney St. and walk to Dana-Farber, on your right.
D and E trains pass through the Green Line North Station. You want to take an "inbound" train.
The second choice: E Train involve the shortest walk. This is the train that I recommend.
Sorry idk where Dana Farber Cancer Institute is!
Do not get off at Gare du Nord and walk or take a taxi .. . It's crazy. Instead of simply move the lines to the Green Line and take it to the station Longwood. This is a short walk from the Longwood Station.
See the map at the website:
