Directions to PA's

It is a beige-colored brick face single story building, with a small green
"Papa's" sign in the window, next door to Union Square Family Health.

Directions from the Mass Pike East

Take the Mass Pike East and get off at Exit 18.  Take the Cambridge/
Somerville ramp (Cambridge Street) and go straight over the bridge. Stay
straight, go over the Charles river, and Cambridge street becomes River
Street (which is one-way with two lanes).  River Street intersects
Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square.  Cross Mass Ave bearing a little
to the left at the intersection onto Prospect Street.  Go straight on
Prospect Street for a short distance.  When the road becomes one way and
has three lanes, take a left at the first light (Dunkin Donuts is on the
left) onto Somerville Avenue.  Total distance from the Mass Pike exit to
this turn is 2 miles.  Go to the first light and bear right onto Bow
Street -- continue from the Bow Street directions below.

Directions from 93 South

Take Exit 30 (Rt 38/28 Somerville). Take a left at the bottom of the ramp
onto Rt 38 South.  Follow 38 South for 4 lights and take a right onto 28
South. Follow 28 South through 3 lights (the 3rd light is after a steel
girder bridge).  Take the first exit after the 3rd light (Washington St.).
Goto the light at the bottom of the ramp, and take a right. Follow the
road as it curves left then right (there is a light here but you can only
go to the right).  Then at the next light take a right onto Bow St --
continue from the Bow Street directions below.

Directions from 93 North

Take exit 28 (Route 99 Somerville/ Everett, the first exit after the Upper
Deck).  Take a left at the bottom of the exit.  Follow this road straight
for several lights.  Pass under Route 28 and continue straight until you
pass a Dunkin Donuts on your left.  Go to the next light and bear right
onto Bow Street -- continue from the Bow Street directions below.

Bow Street: Union Square appears to split into three branches, and Bow 
Street is the one on the right.  It is one way that forks twice.  Follow 
it around to the left -- it wraps around onto Somerville Ave at the second 
fork. PA's is about 100 feet on the left once you get onto Somerville Ave.

Directions from the Mass Pike via Porter Square

Take exit 18 off the Mass Pike and follow the signs for Cambridge.  Just
before crossing the river, take a left onto Storrow Drive going north.  
Take the exit for Harvard Square then take a right at Harvard Street to go
over the Harvard bridge.  This becomes JFK Street.  Follow that through
Harvard Square staying to the right at the main intersection in the
square.  Pass the "Out of Town News" and stay to the left at the first
split, and then stay to the right at the second split.  This puts you onto
Mass Avenue north of the Square.  Continue straight through several
lights.  At the light in fron of the Porter Square T-station, take a sharp
right onto Somerville.  Follow this about a mile towards Union Square.  
The road will become a one-way street.  When it does, PA's is about 100
feet further ahead on the left.
