There should be plenty of on-the-street parking available. Please check the signs so you do not get a ticket.

• As the venue is located in a more commercial area, the street in front of the venue and the streets nearby should be pretty much clear over the weekend. Aside from one part of the block that is used for taxis taking a break, all of 44th Rd between 21st St and 11th St allows on the street parking on weekends.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Dressy casual will make you feel right at home.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???!!!
For men: slacks, a nice shirt/sweater or an informal suit would be great.
For women: slacks/a skirt, a nice shirt/sweater, or a dress (anything from a nice spring frock to an informal cocktail dress) would be great.
Feel free to go festive and colorful, and please put your comfort ahead of dressiness.

IMPORTANT!!!
You'd better be able to dance with free abandon and jump on a bouncy castle. Seriously.
