Find Parking By Neighborhood
NYC parking garage rates shift block by block in this city. Here’s what to expect in each neighborhood:
Midtown (10019, 10018, 10036)
the most expensive and most congested; expect a premium near Times Square and the Theater District
Upper East Side (10021, 10028, 10075)
high monthly rates, but daily and hourly options are often more reasonable than Midtown
Upper West Side (10023, 10024, 10025)
similar to the UES, close to Lincoln Center and Central Park’s west side
SoHo (10012, 10013)
limited garage supply, higher demand on weekends
Chelsea (10001, 10011)
a mix of self-park and valet options, close to the High Line and Javits Center
Financial District (10004, 10005, 10006, 10038)
weekday-heavy pricing that often drops on weekends
Tribeca / Battery Park City (10007, 10280, 10282)
some of the most beginner-friendly self-park garages in Manhattan
Union Square / East Village (10003, 10009)
moderate pricing, good access to downtown venues
West Village (10014)
narrow streets, limited garage count, book ahead
Harlem / Upper Manhattan (10026, 10027, 10030, 10031)
the most affordable options left in Manhattan proper
Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx
monthly spots typically about $200–$500, well below Manhattan, for anyone with flexibility on location. Heading to Brooklyn or Queens? See our Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Flushing and Long Island City parking guides. Going to a game or concert? See parking near Barclays Center.
Parking Near NYC’s Biggest Landmarks
If you’re heading somewhere specific, start there instead of guessing at a neighborhood:
Madison Square Garden & Penn Station
high demand on event nights, book ahead or expect a walk
Times Square & the Theater District
plan for showtime surge pricing 30–60 minutes before curtain
Lincoln Center
moderate walk from Upper West Side garages, easier than driving directly to the venue
Rockefeller Center & Bryant Park
holiday season drives real price spikes
The Met, MoMA, and the Museum of Natural History
Upper East Side and Upper West Side garages both work depending on which museum
Central Park (all sides)
access differs meaningfully depending on which entrance you’re headed to
Javits Center & the Port Authority
Far West Side, plan for convention-week surges
Little Island & the Vessel
West Side waterfront, limited immediate garage supply

GOOD TO KNOW
On top of the sticker price: rented parking spaces in Manhattan carry an 18.375% city and state tax. Manhattan residents who own their vehicle, register it to their Manhattan address, and rent a long-term parking space for personal use can apply for the Manhattan Resident Parking Tax Exemption, which drops that rate to 10.375%. Metered parking is also free on Sundays and major holidays unless a sign says otherwise, and alternate side parking rules are suspended on many of the same days.
How We Put This Together
Every rate range for an NYC parking garage on this site is checked against current operator pricing and city data, not scraped once and left to rot. Regulatory information — ticket fines, the resident parking tax exemption, alternate side parking rules — is sourced directly from NYC DOF and NYC DOT publications and rechecked when the rules change. Learn more about our team and how we check our information.
Guessing at a garage’s price or a parking rule can cost you real money.
One wrong assumption — an unposted rate, a garage with an open Local Law 126 violation, a monthly spot with no in-and-out privileges — turns a simple parking trip into an expensive mistake. You deserve real numbers before you drive in.
We help commuters, tourists, and residents get straight answers on price and parking rules — for neighborhoods across New York City.
Just honest, sourced data — checked against city records, not scraped once and left to rot.

No matter which neighborhood you’re headed to, we bring the same standard: sourced pricing, plain-English rules, and zero corporate fluff. Whether you’re commuting in from Jersey, catching a Broadway show, or hunting for a monthly spot, we’ve got the real numbers.
