If you're driving to the reception

Having a downtown reception means that most people can get there easily by train, subway, bus, bike, or on foot.  However, we realize that for some of us, driving and carpooling to Amada makes more sense. Below is information on parking and directions. 

PARKING

Option 1:  Street parking, which is limited and require urban parallel parking skills. Some meters take credit cards and others take coins only, so bring both.

Option 2:  Garages and parking lots, several of which are located on 2nd Street. There is a garage just south of Chestnut Street next to the Ritz East movie theater.
