Parking in a Pinch (or Pintxo)

On a little food crawl around Santa Monica this weekend, we headed over to Bar Pintxo for some Iberico ham and a glass of rose and noted that the usually ridiculously priced parking lot next to the building only offered validated parking for Thai Dishes and the Indian restaurant, not Pintxo. We got suckered into paying $20 in that lot before (running late, farmer's market day, nowhere to park), so this is good news: Pintxo now validates for that lot. Maybe they always did, but this new signage makes it more clear. And it still might cost a lot more than the nearby parking garages, but for those busy times, it's a bonus.
