Tara's Guidebook
Neighborhoods
We recommend the young, hip Fountain Square neighborhood for (generally) free parking, great people watching, quirky food and drink places (like a rooftop bar!), and fun evening entertainment like swing dancing and duck pin bowling. Park at Thunderbird or Kumo and walk north on Virginia Ave. all the way to Hotel Tango.
