Lincoln Square South has been in place for 2? years now, and I love this new addition. The parking is plentiful downstairs; there's a separate South entrance from 4th Street, though I believe the north and south parking are connecting at one or more of the lower parking levels. I never tried to explore cuz walking is just as easy.
The Lincoln Square South has added a hotel, Nordstrom Rack, a Gym/Sports venue, an upscale Cinemark with recliners, a food hall, and many new restaurants. My regulars amongst the food options are Duke's and Japonessa, as well as some of the food hall eateries. The coffee shop in the food hall draws a crowd late into the night after dinner, especially since they also have sweets.
I commonly come in the later hours and the gates are open at 8pm so validation is no longer needed by the time I'm done and leaving. Do watch for the validation hours so you don't end up paying. If that's an issue, park at Bellevue Square across the street instead and walk over. If it's raining hard, you can walk across the walkway through Lincoln Square North and loop back to Lincoln Square South. It's a good walk for before or after a meal anyway. read more
