Download the ParkMobile app!
Parking at meters downtown is much easier when you have the ParkMobile app! You just pay on your phone. The meter itself will NOT update, but as long as you have the correct space and zone on your phone, it’s okay!

Restaurants
Definitely recommend making reservations for brunches and dinners if you can! Many places accept reservations or let you get in line online. If you can’t make a reservation, plan to go a little early to get on te list!

I always check their page for traffic/accident updates. They give great notice on road closures due to events in town.
