A Guide to Parking in NYC
While you'll notice tons of parking lots in Manhattan, monthly parking in NYC will often set you back the cost of a monthly mortgage (in other cities, not New York), and you could use that dough toward your very overpriced NYC apartment or other living expenses. Believe it or not, hourly and daily parking can be just as, or even more, expensive than monthly rates.
While most people who live in Manhattan do not want the hassle of owning a car in NYC because of parking, some auto owners are brave enough to park their cars on the street. I don't recommend it, but I do know people who save a bundle of cash each month by street parking rather than parking in a paid lot.
Though the savings are attractive, dealing with the threat of tickets, towing, vandalism, and theft isn't. If you're in the minority and own or lease a set of wheels in the Big Apple, or plan to buy a car in the future, then my guide on where to park in NYC is for you.
Alternate Side Parking Rules
Also referred to as "ASP rules," alternate side parking rules enable the City of New York to clean the streets. Rules are in effect at different times and on different days, so look for a street sign with a "P" and broom across it to determine the schedule of that block. When the rules are in effect (could be several hours in the morning or afternoon), you cannot park on that side of the street, or you'll be ticketed or towed.
NYC suspends alternate side sparking for certain holiday as well as inclement weather and emergencies, so you can catch a break a few days per year and park where you find a space and not worry about getting a ticket.
