How's Parking?
Chicago
Our Wicker Park, Logan Square, and Fulton Market locations do not have a parking lot, but metered street parking isn’t terrible. We recommend taking advantage of the multiple public transit options nearby.
Emporium Wicker Park is very close to the DAMEN and DIVISION Blue line stops; the Milwaukee, Ashland, Division, and North ave buses; and many taxi cabs. Emporium Logan Square is very close to the California Blue Line Stop, the Milwaukee Bus, and the Fullerton.
San Francisco
Street parking is available within reason (this is SF after all); we are also very conveniently located in the NOPA neighborhood near BART stops and bus lines (5, 5R, 6, 7, 43, 21, 22, 24)
We cannot recommend enough that you consider Lyft, Uber, pedicab, etc…Don’t Drink and Drive!!!

Yes and Yes.
