Hey Sarasota! The valet parking downtown is for EVERYONE!
A recent article in the Sarasota Observer indicated that most people don't know that fact. The drop off locations are at both ends of Lemon Ave - behind Sur La Table and in front of Hyde Park Steakhouse and it seems most people think that the valet is for those establishments only. Not true! Now you can have the valet service for any of your downtown business or shopping needs.
THE DEAL: the cost is just $3.00 or FREE if you have a voucher from one of the participating merchants (plus a tip for the driver). So quit driving around Main Street looking for a parking space and use the valet!
Participating merchants: Barnacle Bill's Seafood, Brooks Brothers, Creative Aesthetics, Freaky Tiki Surf Shop, Hyde Park Steakhouse, Mattison's City Grille, State of the Arts, This week in Sarasota, Tastings Wine Bar, City Place Residences, Wearable Art, Urban Oasis Day Spa, Jake's Downtown, Main Street Traders, and more are being added daily.
If you don't like the concept of valet parking -some stranger driving and parking your car- then there is always the second floor of the parking garage at Whole Foods (300 free spaces with a 4 hour limit) and several other choices that are shown in the attached diagram. http://www.sarasotagov.com/InsideCityGovernment/Content/Parking/Parking_Brochure.pdf
So please don't let the thought of parking hassles stop you from visiting our fabulous Downtown Sarasota!!
