East on Haverford to 63rd. (From Narberth it might be easier to take Lancaster to 63rd. That also avoids the somewhat confusing detour where the bridge is out near Haverford and Lansdowne.) 2. Turn right on 63rd, and continue to Chestnut St. That's the first traffic light after you go under the el tracks. 3. Turn left on Chestnut, and continue to 42nd St. That sounds like it might be bad since you have to go through 21 traffic lights, but they've got the lights timed so chances are you'll make most of them. 4. Turn right at 42nd and continue to Baltimore. 5. Turn right on Baltimore and continue until you reach 43rd. That's the intersection where the Best House and the Green Line Cafe will be on your right. 6. Turn left on 43rd and continue a few blocks to USP. Note that the intersection of 43rd and Baltimore can be a bit confusing. 43rd is one-way to the north of Baltimore (that's why you have to circle around on 42nd) but two ways south of Baltimore. But the Philadelphia Streets Department, in their infinite wisdom, have put the one-way sign on the *south* side of the intersection. So you might *think* you can't make a left there, but you can. Really. Walt Attachment:
