Additional Materials and Miscellaneous Information

MBTA public transit map - MIT is the Kendall stop on the Red Line. You may want to explore Cambridge and Boston while here. One-way fare for a bus is $2.10 and $2.65 for the subway. There are ticket kiosks located at all subway stations (the kiosks themselves can be quite an adventure). If you will only be using the subway for one round trip, select "other" for the amount and put in $5.30.

Local restaurants
There are many fine restaurants in Cambridge and Boston. Here are a few that you may want to consider (we're not advocating for these, just letting you know about them):

Champions Restaurant - A sports-themed restaurant adjacent to the Cambridge Marriott.
Legal Seafood - Excellent seafood, 5 Cambridge Center, at the corner of Main and Ames Streets.
EVOO - organic eclectic food, 350 Third St.
Firebrand Saints - it's been described as a trendy eatery and is a short walk from MIT.
Liberty Hotel - What was once the iconic Charles Street Jail is now the stunning, vibrant Liberty Boston Hotel. Just across the river (Inbound on the Red Line), one subway stop, located at 215 Charles St.
