where exactly in midtown are you?

 

Never left my car overnight in a midtown garage before. **** is so expensive that I refuse to drive in unless my company is going to pay for the parking.

Best bet would be to park on the east side (1 to 3rd ave) since it's a little bit cheaper.

 

don't cheap out on garage parking in NYC, especially if you have an R

otherwise, u probably won't see your R again

 

doesn't matter the garage...its the people working in the garage you should be worried about...

 

 

sheraton, somewhere on 7th ave, don't know where exactly. I usually just park uptown, but that was few years ago w/ an old car.
I might just end up paying 40 bucks, damn.

 

Finding a cheap garage in Manhattan is like finding a virgin at the prom...pretty damn impossible. Garages on the East side are a little cheaper but not much, alot of the "yuppies" who live there now are starting to get cars so they can drive to the Hamptons on the weekends haha, so prices are going up. I dont even know where you found a garage thats $20 a night. Unfortunately if you want to spend less than $20 you'll probably have to find a spot on the street. Which I know you don't want to do. But where in midtown are you looking? East , West...40's 50's? I know there are a couple in the West 40's that aren't too bad at night.

 

again...

leave the R home man!

 

 

If you're worried about the people working in the garage, sometimes the garages that are attached to other things ie: apartment buildings, office buildings, hotels etc...are a little more "conscientious" (probably spelled that wrong) about how they treat/guard the cars in there. Thats in contrast to the independent garages that just rent space in the sublevels of other buildings. Just a tip if it helps any.

 

Leave the car on the street... if its black, no wing, no stickers, no red emblems, no F lip, added sunroof and hub cap covers.

other wise leave it at home

If you park in manhattan, be prepared to pay a premium!

I know one guy who is crazy enough to park his PY ITR on manhattan streets
but he shall remain nameless

 

 

where in midtown? if your anywhere near Madison Square Garden. Around 33rd street and 7th. park on 31st. its 25 for the night. its the one right after the fire station on the left hand side, very steep driveway.

not at all, I have a great alarm and it has a pager so I'll know when the ***** get too close . Besides I was only 100ft away ...

 

Done that, been there...and it's on a Christmas Eve too, two blocks from Time Square.
Not over night, but I usually park on the streets in the city during daytime like in SoHo or 5th.

 

that isnt midtown ....

and you dont park it there overnight... you actually park it in the garage.

so before you give anyone false impressions that NYC is really safe....

 

Manhattan is acutally pretty safe to park, ( south of 86st that is ) I would be more worried about parking in bronx, queens or brooklyn.

 

Yeah most of manhattan is pretty safe to park. Same goes from Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and SI too. Just depends what neighborhood your parking in.

 

In that Pic I was parked there for atleast 5 hours, and your right about not overnight but still was parked in NYC during the nght and was safe.
The weird thing or good thing is that there is allway trafic and peeps walking around, so for the most part it would scare off any half-*** theives.

As for keeping my car in a garage, yes I do Every night, some exceptions...

Edit: 49th and 2nd, thats midtown aint it?

my car survived being parked in nyc phew. the staff of the parking was pretty professional. it was connected to the hotel, so it has to secure its image.
My itr almost got flooded on the westside highway though.
thanks for all the advice
