One convenient place you can go to purchase or rent a tuxedo is Keezer's, 140 River St., Cambridge (near Central Square).
Directions to Keezer's:
- Walk North up Massachusetts Avenue to the Central Square T Stop. Magazine St., River St., and Western Ave. will be on your left at the traffic light; Prospect St. will be on your right.
- Turn left onto River Street by walking past the bus-waiting area toward the red-brick church. You should keep the church just to your left as you walk past it.
- Keezer's will be on your left about 5 blocks past the church (just past a triangular patch of grass). If you pass a traffic light, you've gone too far.
