GrubStreet's New Home

About GrubStreet's New Home: 

GrubStreet's new space features expanded classrooms for teens and adults, community space to read and write, a bookstore run by our friends at Porter Square Books, a cafe, a podcast studio, and a stage for the literary arts with cabaret seating. Located on the southeast side of the 50 Liberty Drive building, facing the Marina and the ICA, our new space is three times as large as our former home, offers full ADA-accessibility (including hearing assistance technology in the classrooms), and allows us to offer expanded literary programs for writers and readers of all ages and backgrounds. 

You can view all of our upcoming in-person classes here. All other GrubStreet programs will remain remote unless otherwise noted in the coming months. Please check the location of any class or event before registering to confirm whether they will take place in-person or online.

For GrubStreet members, you have access to write, read, or work in the community lounge on the second floor of GrubStreet’s Center for Creative Writing at all times the center is open. Learn more about your member benefits here.

Upcoming In-Person Classes & Events: 

Interested in joining us in-person, check out our list of upcoming in-person offerings.

Covid-19 Policy:

When the Covid-19 Community Level is low or medium, our space will be mask optional. When the Covid-19 Community Level is high, our space will be mask required. We are currently at a medium community risk level, so GrubStreet’s in-person classes and events are mask optional. Learn more about our Covid-19 Policy here.

Direction, Parking, Public Transportation:

Our new Center for Creative Writing is located on the southeast side of the 50 Liberty Drive building, facing the Marina and the ICA. Parking in the area is extremely limited, so we strongly encourage taking public transportation or biking when possible. We are a 4-minute walk from the Silver Line Courthouse stop and a 14-minute walk from South Station. Learn more about traveling to the space.

Have No Fear! Zoom's Still Here:

We’re still Zooming! We have a full schedule of Zoom and Online: On Demand classes available. Even as we ramp back up to a robust in-person slate of programs, our Zoom classes and events will be an important part of the general mix of GrubStreet offerings moving forward.

Porter Square Books: Boston Edition:

Porter Square Books: Boston Edition is open seven days a week (10am-6pm Monday-Thursday and 10am-8pm Friday-Sunday). 

Fabulist Cafe:

Fabulist's hours are:

• Tue - Sat: 10am - 7pm

• Sun: 10am - 3pm

We'll also have outdoor seating for the warmer months, so you can drink, eat, and write while enjoying the seaside views.
