The State Street Landing in Marblehead, MA
(Google 75 State St. Marblehead)
Parking: There are about 20 parking spots in the lot right at State St. The signs say “Two Hour Parking”, but it is not vigerously enforced, so if you find a spot there, grab it. If those spots are all full, you could simply hover for a few minutes, and it is likely that one will open up. If that doesn’t work, there are numerous on-street spots in the area, you just need to pull a Derek Zoolander, and keep turning left … due to all the one-way streets :-)
Bathrooms: In the State St. parking lot, there is a small red brick building that has restrooms.
Food: There are several options for food in close proximity to State Street, including:
Crosby's Market is about 200 yards away. They have a wide selection of groceries, drinks, sandwiches and prepared foods. To get there, walk back up State St, pass The Sail Loft, and take a left into Crosby's parking lot.
For restaurants, The Driftwood (the red clapboard building on one side of the State St. parking lot) is a great breakfast/lunch joint. The Sail Loft, and The Landing are both right there. A cool place, overlooking the water, is The Barnacle, which is about 1/2 mi down Front St, towards Ft. Sewall.
