How To Get To Our PEACE MEALS
at 4217 and 4209 East West Highway; Bethesda, MD 20814; 301-654-6759

.
From Rt. 495 (the Beltway), the Connecticut Avenue exit (#33) South is preferred, though Wisconsin Avenue South is also an option.

From Washington, DC, go North on either Wisconsin Avenue or Connecticut Avenue.

From the metro (subway), see below.
.

Connecticut Avenue:
Traveling south on Connecticut, East-West Highway is 1.2 miles, or you may count 6 traffic lights, after the Beltway. Turn right onto East-West Highway, Rt. 410. Stay in the right lane. As the road starts going up hill, go very slow….

# 4209 is on the right just before the bridge

# 4217 is on the same side, immediately after the bridge

If you miss both houses, continue on to the second light, turn left onto Pearl Street (at McDonalds), left onto Montgomery Avenue and follow directions as from Wisconsin Avenue.

Going north on Connecticut Ave., turn left at the third light after Chevy Chase Circle onto East-West Highway, stay in the right lane and follow directions above.
.

Wisconsin Avenue:
Traveling south on Wisconsin Avenue enter downtown Bethesda, pass East-West Highway (by the Hyatt) by one block and turn left onto Rt. 410, Montgomery Avenue. Stay in the middle lane as it will bear right and merge onto East-West Highway heading east. You will now be in the left lane and will see a bridge.

For #4217, turn left into the last house before the bridge.

For #4209, turn left into the first house after the bridge.

Going North on Wisconsin Ave. as from Washington, DC, enter downtown Bethesda, and turn right onto Rt 410, Montgomery Avenue and follow directions above.
.

Parking is available at both houses. Suggestions to maximize use of the space are posted at the Center. If all spaces are taken, as for large classes and programs, use the public lot at Pearl Street between East-West Highway and Montgomery Avenue; or on weekends, park on the street on Montgomery Avenue or just off East-West Highway (towards Wisconsin) on Cheltenham by the high school.
.

By metro
On the red line, exit at the Bethesda station. At the top of the long escalator, turn right and walk through the tunnel, then up the short escalator and out the glass doors. Turn right to walk east down East-West Highway going away from Wisconsin Ave. Cross the street at one of the lights. Pass the high school. We are the last house before the bridge (#4217) and the first house after the bridge (#4209). The walk is a pleasant 4 long blocks, approximately 8-10 minutes.

(After hours, or on weekends, if the tunnel is closed, take the escalator straight ahead up to street level and, using the crosswalks, cross Old Georgetown Road, then Wisconsin Avenue and walk down the left side of East-West Highway towards the house.)

The Washington, DC metropolitan subway system has access to National Airport, Union Station (Amtrak), the Smithsonian Institution, and most government buildings in Washington, and covers many miles throughout this tri-state area with connections also to the local Metrobus systems in each state.
