You will have to park on the street, so please bring money for metered parking. There is normally plenty of street parking around our building. To find our entrance, when looking at the front of the building from Main Street, the door is on the left side of the building (closest to the courtyard). Please come in through that door and take either the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor. You will see our entrance once you get to the 2nd floor.

We are not able to validate or reimburse for parking.
