Restaurants
I would suggest making reservations at any restaurant you would like to go to. The food scene is very busy here, we know how to eat well! There are usually long waits to get in, and some are reservation only.
Verkehrsmittel
Downtown Parking
There are a lot of parking garages downtown, take advantage of them!! They stay cooler in the hot summers, and you don't have to go back to feed a meter. (The parking police are very strict)
