TIPS FOR GETTING THERE

Parking

We are located at 46 Park St. Framingham, MA. Once you enter the parking lot, turn left at the bottom of the driveway and left again at the dumpsters. You will see large lettering on the building that says “Pearl St. Cupboard” and occasionally a bus that says “Pop Up Pantry.” Our door is to the left of these landmarks. You may park anywhere in the lot to access our door, parking is always free.
 
Entering the Studio
Our door is to the left of the “Pop Up Pantry.” We are located on the third floor of the building. During morning classes and evening classes, the door should be unlocked and the elevator is right down the hall from the door. Press 3 for the 3rd floor and when you exit the elevator, we are on the left.
In case the door is locked, please ring the doorbell for the third floor and you will be buzzed into the door. The door will be locked automatically on weekends, nights after 7PMand Pearl St. Cupboard Holidays. In the event that we are open, but the Pearl St. Cupboard is closed, the door will remain locked.
