Parking
Since the event is in Downtown SF, public transportation is generally advised. If parking is required:
- The streets behind the building (Ritch and Zoe) are non-resident, non-metered. In order to get a space you need to be there early and it helps if you have a small car (although there seem to be spaces along Zoe beginning about 4:00pm if there is an afternoon visitor).
- There is a lot at the corner of Brannan and Ritch (adjacent to the Brickhouse restaurant). $12-15 regularly, price varies on game days.
- There is a lot at 470 Brannan Street (corner of 4th and Brannan - next to Wells Fargo Bank). Monthly and Daily parking and free for 30 minutes to bank and Starbucks customers. This site also lists lots, with prices: http://sanfrancisco.bestparking.com/neighborhoods/south-of-market-parking
Public Transportation
Via Caltrain:
About a 12-17 minute walk
Get off at the last stop - 4th and King, walk out of the terminal to the left toward 4th and Townsend, then walk up Townsend and take a left onto Third and the office is 2 blocks down on the left (corner of Harrison and Third); or you can walk down 4th and take a right onto Brannan, then a left onto Third. If you don't like to walk then you can cross the street and take the #45 or #30 bus ($1.50) which leaves from the corner of 4th and Townsend and drops you off on the corner either before the office or just after the office.
Via Bart:
About a 15-20 minute walk
Get off at the Montgomery Station, walk down New Montgomery or 2nd Street (going toward South of Market/AT&T park NOT toward Chinatown/Financial District), then a right onto Bryant and the office is at the cross Harrison and 3rd Street - or hop on the #30 or #45 bus at the corner of 4th and Market and get off at Brannan and 4th Street - then walk up Brannan, the side where the Wells Fargo Bank is, and left onto 3rd Street.
