Parking outside NYC

Family of four driving from Toronto Canada to NYC next week. Staying in Times Sq for 5 nights. Thinking of parking outside the City (Newark Airport?) and taking public tansport in.

Does this make sense?

Any suggestions about where is best and safest place to park?

Thanks in advance

Parking outside NYC

That might be more of an ordeal than simply parking in the city, especially once you factor in that you will all have to take the train into the city from Newark Airport. You can find available parking and rates on www.iconparking.com. You should also talk to your hotel, sometimes they offer discounted rates to nearby lots.

What%26#39;s the objective of parking outside NYC? You can find relatively inexpensive parking by looking on

iconparking.com

and reserving a spot near your hotel. You can find other garages/prices on nycgarages.com but you can%26#39;t reserve spots that way.

By parking in Manhattan you avoid schlepping bags on buses and trains and paying for 4 people to travel. Drop off the rest of the family at the hotel with doorman, park the car and walk (or taxi) back. Simple.

I think you should just park the car in manhattan. You will regret parking the car in Newark.The money saved is really more of an aggravation then it%26#39;s worth and I really do not think it will be that much of a save of$$..It will be OK manhattan if you find the right lot.

Another parking site is www.nycgarages.com

Good Luck !

P.s. many people fear driving and parking in manhattan it is not that bad. I would do what will suit your family best.

thank you everyone

the motivation was not really to save $ but for convenience and simplicity

but i guess the advice is find parking close to the hotel

thanks again
