8:00pm Thursday is a good time as the Lakers/Celtics game starts at 7:30pm and there will be little traffic while everyone's inside the Staples Center.

I've learned not to fear game days. Vic's gets nice and quiet while the game is going on and there is still good $7 Flat Rate parking just a block from the restaurant.

See the map below. I've marked the $7 lot. I usually enter by turning on 8th Pl. off of Figueroa, (8th is the small street just behind (north of) the Pantry). Once parked you can walk one block down Francisco St. (itself just a glorified alley), and you're at Vic's. Don't worry about walking down Francisco St at night - there are guards for the hotels keeping watch stationed there and usually a few folks heading to the Staples Center at the same time to keep you company.

I'll probably try to get there at 7:30pm myself and order some food in the bar area. Look forward to seeing folks there.
