Location and Directions

We are located in the Western MA college town of Northampton, MA. We're easy to reach from Interstate 91, a little under 2 hours from Boston and a little over 3 hours from NYC. 

We are in the 'Historic Northampton' district, in the 34 Bridge Street Plaza shopping center just across from the main Northampton Post Office. 

The post office is one of the many bus stops for the '5 colleges' buses that run into Northampton proper and out across the river to UMass and the outlying schools including Hampshire College, Mt. Holyoke, and Amherst College. Buses run regularly during the school year, well into the evening hours. We are only a 20 minute walk down Main Street from Smith College.
