All true, but if you did decide to make the trip to Café Enchanté
anyway, the meetings that are on a Monday usually have sufficient
street parking available, but fewer people attend compared to the
meetings that are on a Sunday, for which finding a nearby parking spot
can sometimes take more than an hour after arrival. A possible
alternative would be to drive to some other place in the city, and
then take public transit from there.
