Consejos para la ciudad
Antes de que te vayas
Book ahead for fancy dinner
While there are tons of great options for dinner that are casual, first-come-first- serve, you'll want to book ahead for some of the fine-dining places like Hemingway's Cuba, Plant, Jargon or Curate.
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Driving is easiest.
While there are a few convenient bus routes through town, a car will give you the most ease of movement. Parking is fairly easy [except for weekend nights downtown]. e-bike rentals are another fun, easy way to zip around town!
