I stayed at the Doubletree Downtown and walked to both the Comedy Center and The Lucy Desi Museum. There are a number of cafes, restaurants and pubs located in the downtown area. The staff at the Doubletree provided me with a list of nearby restaurants. I enjoyed the Allen Street Diner. Plus the Doubletree has an onsite restaurant.

Hello. So sorry for this late response..I just saw this post. For us, the museum visit only took 45 minutes. If you are a real Lucy fan you will know most of what is in the museum. It was nice to see some of her and Desi's famous outfits, and the sets from the show, but it was a quick visit. The National Comedy Center nearby was so much more interesting and we were there for a couple of hours. But all Lucy fans should try to get to the Museum...just for the experience.
Q:
Where can I get parking for the museum?
A:
We used a nearby parking garage.
