Traveler advice
Getting around
Uber or Lyft is the best way to visit downtown
If you are going to downtown for any reason, I would recommend using Uber/Lyft. The cost of parking is quite expensive.
What to pack
Visiting the Broadway Honky Tonks?
Don't wear your favorite shoes or heels downtown when visiting the Honky Tonks. No flip flops, heels or shoes that get dirty easily. You will do a lot of walking and hopping from bar to bar. The floors of the bars are typically wet and sticky from spilled drinks.
