Cherry Blossom Parade on Saturday

Dear Dr. Gridlock:
I have a ticket for a play at the Lansburgh Theater, 450 7th St. NW, on Saturday at 2 p.m. As the Cherry Blossom Parade starts at 10 a.m. and lasts to at least 12 p.m. rain or shine, what is the best way to get to the theater and avoid the parade traffic and crowds. Is it better to drive or to use Metro?

I'd take Metro -- especially because you've got two stops so close to the theater on 7th Street.

There's Archives-Navy Memorial at 7th and Pennsylvania, and there's Gallery Place-Chinatown with an exit at 7th and F streets. They're both within two blocks of the theater.

Also, there's no track work scheduled for this weekend, so you should not experience any train delays.
