Be sure to bring quarters. If you can snare a free spot along Lake or the side streets, you're in luck! But paid along Minnehaha is the norm on weekends. About $1 will get you two hours of parking.
If you're going to T's Place for the first time, get the Yesomm Be'Ye'Ay'Netu. It's a combination of all of the veggie dishes--lentils, split peas, carrots, string beans and more--and comes large enough for at least two people to share. There are no forks involved: just the springy and filling bread is used to scoop up the delicious spread.
