Parking

Parking is always a little tricky but the garage near our office is the best option - Cambridge West Garage in Cambridge Center off Ames Street. The road is technically called Ames place although it does not show up on some GPS. The garage is under the new construction happening near our building. You can't miss the giant crane.
