Come early, bring credit card. It now costs $5 to park at Island Beach and the system is much more complicated (what else is new?) so leave those quarters at home and please give yourself more time.
1. Arrive by 8:30 at Island Beach lot on Arch Street, across from Teen Center
2. Park in a spot with yellow lines (white lined ones are for permit holders)
3. Write down the number of your parking spot - you'll need it when you pay
4. Go to Pay Station - there is one near the front of the lot
5. Parking is $5, payable by credit card, $5 bill, or Greenwich Smart Card
Lunch at Nero D'Avola - It is $28 including tax and tip, not $25 as I originally thought. You can pay me at lunch, check to Hortulus Visiting Gardens.
A heads-up on lunch - we can take more people at the restaurant if you wish to join the group.
