Hi guys, I'm an Anime Boston newbie, and I just got everything straightened out for transportation, accommodation, etc.,...and realized that the hostel I'm staying at is 4 miles away from the convention center by way of what appear to be highways, which puts walking there with my Harkonnen anti-middans cannon slung over my shoulder more or less completely out of the question. I was wondering if either A) anyone else was staying at the Prescott International Hotel and Hostel in Everett and would be willing to let a poor lost fangirl bum a ride with them to the convention center or B) if anyone could clue me in on a good mode of transportation to take to get from Everett to the Hynes.

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

im not sure exactly where you are, but are there any stops on the t nearby? the t is always a very cheap alternative :]

The T is exactly right. What you'll need is the 104 or the 109 bus at the corner of broadway and church street going to sullivan station. Then you'll want to get on the orange line going to forrest hills. Get off at the back bay station and you are pretty much there, Just go throught the mall and youll be at the hynes.

I live in Wakefield and can go through Everett to give you a ride to the T if you want. I'm going to Sullivan Sq anyway. Driving into Boston sucks. Otherwise, the bus to Sullivan Sq is your best bet.

That hostel is actually two blocks over from my humble abode. Unfortunately, I will be taking the T every day, so I can't offer you a ride.

But I can tell you how to take the T there! Just walk up to Everett Square and hop on a 104 or 109 bus to take you to Sullivan Station. From there, take the Orange Line inbound until you reach North Station. Then, hop off and work your way to the station's Green Line track. You'll want to take a B, C or D train, then get off at Hynes Convention center. Work your way back onto the street and you should be able to see the convention center behind you. If not, find a cosplayer and trail them until you get to the center. If you get on an E train, thats fine. Get off at Prudential. That stop is right inside the mall connected to the center.

Overall, it should take about 20 minutes to get there. Good luck!
