Guide to saving time at the National
 

If you're looking for vintage at the National ( as I was today), here's a helpful guide to allow you to quickly pass by the tables selling nothing but shiny

If the table is crowded with people wearing backpacks, pass it by

If people crowding the tables are millennials holding plastic suitcases, pass it by

If the people running the tables are wearing matching shirts, pass it by

If the people manning the table are wearing baseball hats.
backwards, pass it by

There wasn't much pre-war available that couldn't be easily found elsewhere. There was more interesting stuff at the tables in the room where the food trucks are.

And....this is the most important thing...the restrooms downstairs are three times as big as the ones by the food trucks. Head to the back wall in that room and look for the big red "Men's" sign. Thank me later

Thanks - this is perfect. I didn't know about the other bathrooms.

Actually, if you go out of the main entrance, there are steps in the main lobby that go down a level (directly across from the General Admission ticket office) that say something like VIP whatever, and those bathrooms never have a wait.

Wish I was there. Just curious, how is the wifi?

now did they have a paper towel dispenser ?..or air dryer ?

Was the soap the foamy type ? or a liquid ?

Ah come on! These modern flippers have brought so much attention and price increases to vintage. What's there not to like? Aside from the stampede to the exit

The WiFi was dreadful IMO
