Travel Note
Parking: A quick note for those not familiar with the Balboa area: Parking around Balboa can be a little tricky. Plan an extra 15-20 minutes to find parking. Here are the parking options. (Click the "View" button below for an interactive map) A Street Parking Lot (50 Main St, Newport Beach, CA 92661): Try this lot first because it’s free to park after 6:00pm. This lot will fill up quickly. It’s a 4 minute walk from Harborside (the venue) Balboa Pier Parking Lot (Balboa Pier Parking Lot, 2 Washington St, Newport Beach, CA 92661): This lot has 600 spots and is your best bet to find a spot. It does cost $3.10 an hour to park. It’s a 6-minute walk to Harborside (the venue). You can walk north on either A Street or Main Street until they merge into E Bay Ave, at which point the restaurant will be in view - it's the white building with an American flag on top.
