How To Get Here

Important information about access by car or taxi If you are taking a taxi or someone is dropping you off, the front entrance is accessed via 24th Street where they can easily depart via a circular drive. If you wish to park on-site, you must take the exit off the West Side Highway (traveling south), opposite 22nd Street. DO NOT enter via 24th Street if you plan to park your car on the premises. If you do make this mistake, you will need to exit back onto the West Side Highway, turn right to head South and follow directions above for the 22nd Street entrance.
