Well, that's the direction: The general idea was that people will unlikely
build the 7 foot square bot, but they might need a few extra inches, so if we
relax it, no one really would complain. But it's up for debate.

Here's what I suggest-if you can, park at a TTC station (ie, Kipling, should
be open by 5 pm) and take the subway in, because Mel's is right on the subway
line and you can get off at Bathurst and walk the block over east.
If you drive in, usually the way I go is Gardiner to York/University, up
University, west on College, then up Spadina to Bloor then across west a bit.
That way instead of exiting Spadina and battling Chinatown, you can go up the
relatively civilized University Avenue. Another option is to figure a
creative way across via Dundas eastward winding your way up diagonally.
Parking is somewhat weird in that location, because it's Bloor.
