On-street parking is available (with some restrictions during rush hour) as the way may open.  Parking regulations are strictly enforced.   There are several commercial parking garages nearby:

(1) The Universal South Building at 2005 Florida Ave.  That’s just across Connecticut Avenue on the left when heading east from the Meetinghouse, between the drug store and the post office. 

(2) If that garage is full, take the next left onto T Street.  Almost immediately on the left will be “Universal North Public Parking,” It’s just across from the side entrance to the Washington Hilton. (No vans or trucks allowed – 5’7″ clearance.)

Please note: both parking garages above may require a credit card for payment.
