On the way home from a delicious dinner at Jean and Lee in Newton Upper Falls, I passed the famous West 16 South 3 East 2 sign at Alewife and got to wondering which way that road actually went. And the answer I came up with was "Widdershins". Literally true in the polar coordinate system of the Hub, but also expresses the very Boston concepts of "the navigation techniques you may be used to will not help you here", "no we're not going to call anything what you expect us to call it" and finally "driving down this road is probably bad luck".
