Han mentioned getting to the Cambridge Rockler by coming in on Rt 2,
left at Rt 16, and then right at Mass Ave. That's probably the easiest
route but no the shortest. You can also turn right onto Rt 16, then
take your first left onto Rindge Ave. Follow Rindge all the way to the
end (about a mile) and Rockler is at that corner, about 100 feet to
your right on Mass Ave.

This route is important because at the intersection of Rt 16 and
Rindge is a great seafood restaurant, Jasper White's Summer Shack. (If
you were coming the other way on Rindge and neglected to stop at the
traffic light at the end, you would smash right into the Summer Shack.)

To get to Woodcraft, follow the original route (left at Rt 16 from Rt
2), follow it about 5 miles to I-93 north. Take I-93 north about 5-6
miles to Montvale Ave in Woburn. Woodcraft is about 1 block west on
your left.

Great plug for a seafood restaurant! And not only is that route shorter,
it's probably also faster, because the left at 2&16 can be very slow.

More eats: On the left of Mass Ave, just beyond Porter Square is the old
Sears building, now partly occupied by Lesley University and a whole lot
of shops and restaurants. Although not cheap, the Blue Fin has great
sushi. In one of the little hallways is a Korean restaurant with an
aquarium, great to amuse the toddlers ...

My last visit was circa 30 years ago, but Anthony's Pier 4 had some
unforgettable seafood.
