� QUINCY MARKET INSIDER TIPS
• The Dock Square Garage entrance is tight — if you drive a large SUV or truck, consider 75 State Street instead.
• Street performers are busiest 11am-9pm — afternoon/evening parking fills up around their schedule.
• If you’re visiting just for lunch (11am-2pm), arrive before 11am to get the best spot. The food court gets packed by 12pm.
• Holiday season (November-December) and special events at nearby TD Garden cause city-wide parking crunches — pre-book at least a week ahead.
