Park and lock in NYC

rooster3.0 · 10-21-2009, 06:16 PM

I'm gonna be staying with a friend this weekend in NYC and I'll be needing my car as well. Can someone recommend a good park and lock? I'd prefer something downtown. I'm not a big fan of leaving my keys.

Thanks.

I park at the Battery Garage, its downtown, towards the end of West St. You can park anywhere and its big. Lock it and leave it.

Not sure how up-to-date this is but worth a look.

I have personally used the self park muni-garage in the LES (delancey & essex).

I'd take the path but I need to have access to my car. Thanks for the offer though.

There's one in chinatown, no attendants needed- fully automated. Drive up to the Machine, get out, shut the door and lock it, and card comes out of a vending machine. Elevator takes the car to underground lot and then a hydraulic arm takes it to the appropriate spot. When ready to get car, stick ur card in and the hydraulic arm picks up ur car and brings it up to you. It even turns it back head out, so u can just drive away. I like it because I know no one will touch your car or sit in it. Although there is somebody there at the counter in case people didn't know how to work the payment machine.
