Yes I did. Clearance isn't a problem on the ground level (8'2") but on the 2nd & 3rd levels it gets a little tight (6'4"). There was plenty of space on the ground floor though.

You get 4 hours free parking (with validation...just take your paper ticket with you when you pay for admission) so I'm just going to get there around opening just to be sure

There's parking on the street in some areas, but it's metered.

I'm thinking the validated parking might have been a group benefit, and we'll have to pay. I could be wrong. Just this once!

You know what...you're right. That was a group deal.

I just looked at the pamphlet and parking is 8 bucks with museum validation.

It's hard to eat pastrami/corned beef/cheesecake for breakfast, so I'll toss in a vote for lunch.

But either suits me fine :

Hmm, true. Might have to do a drive-by for a once-over to see what's-what with that 'bakery' sign.

Well, be sure to brush off your shirt if you do a little recon on the way...if we see a trail of crumbs you're busted
