Haymarket is correct, though I'm not sure that you actually go through
it, but you certainly go right by it.
Of course all these driving directions are sort of moot. If you're an
out of towner, you probably don't want to drive (hey, even I don't like
to drive in Boston and I'm used to things like lanes disappearing and
curbs trying to ambush you etc.), and if you take a cab, the cab driver
will know where to go...
