Meeting runners after Boston

elliot's lounge

BUMP

After runners cross the finish line, they have to walk about 2 blocks to Berkeley Street and take a right. The first intersection they'll come to (Berkeley/St. James) is the family meeting area.

As far as parking, you're better off taking public transportation into/out of the area.

If your family is driving (e.g. watches you in Newton and will drive in), establish a destination such as Charles St between the Common and Public Garden. If they can't find a place to park while waiting for your arrival, they can do easy loops. Find a statue or corner. You will need to walk a bit more, but you move away from the crowds.

eliot lounge

Unless it's Doc Brown's DeLorean Time Machine the guy is looking to park, then the Eliot Lounge is unavailable as a meeting place. It was closed in the 1990s.
