Where is a good place to take an antique painting frame to have a mirror put into it?

I used Cambridge Glass and Mirror (152 Rindge Ave, Cambridge, MA 02140, (617) 492-0417)), and was quite happy with them.

If you want to do it yourself just as well for very little $, we went to Lowes in Woburn and gave the glass/mirror cutter guy the measurements and he cut the piece right then and there for under $10 for a decently large piece (2.5x3.5 feet or so). We mounted it with Glazier's points (https://www.misterart.com/grouppix/280x210/1000/g1632.jpg) (available at Pearl Arts in Central and elsewhere).

Shameless plug

A friend of mine runs a frame shop, so I'm gonna put in a plug for him:

IMO he's pretty good at what he does, from what I've seen of his work.

They're in Natick, so that might be a bit far afield for you, and I'm not sure if he does this kinda thing. But the shop is walking distance from the Natick commuter rail stop on the Framingham/Worcester line.

That would be me :) Yes, I do mirrors, and I'd be happy to help you out if you can come to Natick. If you're going to be at Arisia I could meet up with you there too... I'm going to be working the art show.

You might consider using a beveled mirror which looks a lot nicer IMHO.
