What's the secret to eating at Dinosaur? I've tried twice and couldn't find a single place to park within 4 blocks. I don't know my way around Cuse and walking a great distance after dark isn't my thing. It doesn't seem like it's the greatest part of town....lots of factories. I see tons of parking lots, but they are all permitted.
On my first attempt, there was a car parked on the street a few buildings up from Dinosaur and there was a window smashed. There was tons of glass all over the street behind it. That definitely did not make me think it was a safe neighborhood.

It is in Downtown and near Franklin Square, an area where former factories and warehouses have been turned into apartments. There are more in the works as well. I wouldn't call such incidents commonplace in Downtown, but they do occur like any other city. Armory Square is literally 5 blocks south of Dinosaur and has quite a few restaurants as well.
I think with Dinosaur, when people come from out of town, it is a place people have heard of due to the restaurant being on TV shows. So, it may be a thing of going to a place that seems safe in terms of a restaurant choice. Other restaurants have been on shows, but Dinosaur has had the most exposure, I believe.

Park in the lot directly across the street. It's $5
