I'd say go South to North along the orange/red then back west once it gets later, would that make sense?

Those two fests look great, I'd love to check out either/both.

Yeah that makes sense to me. I'm always eager to get close to the North End because Modern Pastry and Bova's are there. :)

Only downside if we go into Cambridge is there's no easy way to get back to Brookline via T from Central/Harvard. I don't know if people are driving or not, but we could always split an Uber or check out stuff along the way too.

It's still probably 40 minutes via the 66 but yeah, it is more direct.

In my experience it's not really faster than taking the red to Park and then getting on the D line . . . but you never know on any given day with the MBTA. What's the deal with those bikes? Those were introduced after I moved away, but that seems like the fastest way to me.

All I'm going to say is that I'm bad at public transportation, guys. I'm much more a "nod and follow-er" in that department.

All you need to know is that "inbound" means "toward Government Center" and "outbound" means "away from Government Center". Other than that, just ask someone. Tons of new college kids every year so MBTA employees are used to it.

Yeah same here, plus the 66 is usually packed. When I say packed...

You can rent a bike at one location and drop it off at another. I haven't used it before but I do see people using them. It's $6 for a 24-hour pass though, so unless people are using it all day it's probably cheaper to split an Uber van.
