You want ot continue on Route 107, which will fork to your left. There is a slight fork with Jerusalem Ave., but continue on Route 107 (Broadway), bearing to your left. You will then pass under a train trestle. Count three blocks on your right. The third block will be West Nicholai St. (The street signs are on the light poles in the middle of Route 107.) West Nicholai St. is one-way and very short. It is advisable that you only park near the Masonic Lodge temporarily to drop off passengers and gear. There is municipal parking on East Nicholai (left off Route 107). You will pass a small church on your left, immediately after the church you will see the parking lot.
• By train:
  Take the LIRR's Ronkonkoma or Port Jefferson branch to the Hicksville station. Go downstairs to Jerusalem Avenue. (If you end up on Newbridge Road, when you go down the stairs you will need to walk one block east to Jerusalem.) Go south on Jerusalem, 3 blocks to West Nicholai, turn left, walk bast the church on your left and the Masonic Lodge is right after the church on your left.
