I've done the Grafton St. McDonald's for this before. The easternmost of the three "Worcester" exits is actually closest to a city line.

Otherwise, consider meeting in Auburn at the Dunkin' on Southbridge Street?

Yup; there’s a dunks right next door to the McDonalds too. Closest “Worcester” exit to Boston, and the easiest to get on/off of as well.

Both sound like good options. Thank you!

It's exit 96 off the Pike take a left at the light and go a mile. There's also a park and ride at the exit.

It’s right off the exit at 146 actually. There’s another by 122 but none by 495 and the pike.

Park and ride on Rt20/146. The State Police barracks are right nearby, so I think of it as free parking lot security detail every hour

90 technically doesn't go through Worcester but 290 will lead them directly to here, if you want "near" the Pike, somewhere in Auburn would be better, but if it's somewhere in Worcester, there's a bunch of hotels and all that near the Common. If you wanna get food before you leave you can meet at Armsby Abbey or Chashu Ramen, one of those places down near the Common and then hop on to 290 again to get back to 90.

The 146 exit will put you right on 20 in Worcester if you take a left instead of a right.

Yeah but if they’re already on 90 coming from Western Mass they’re most likely going to go 290 not 146.
