Conseils aux voyageurs

Réservez avant de partir

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.
Se déplacer dans les environs

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!
