There is no place like Manhattan over the holidays - the department store windows, Rockefeller Center, shopping, and the special events going on all over our wonderful city.
If you are planning to drive in, you may want to consider a little bit of planning for parking. This way you can save money and quickly help find your location needs. For example Icon Parking at www.iconparking.com/ 877-PARKING has an online parking reservation system. This parking system has over 175 garages in Manhattan and allows you to compare prices and services at their participating garages. You enter a neighborhood along with a date and time you desire parking. Then their free shop at home service gives you a list of garages with their parking fees and addresses. Also great coupons are available on the site - one for $10.00 parking with your theater stub after 6:00 pm and all day on weekends.
Another similar website, www.centralparking.com/ is offering a coupon thru January 2009 for six hours for just $15.00 at 55 select Midtown Manhattan parking locations, all taxes included.
Also don’t forget our secret garage West End Towers at 75 West End Avenue 212-956- 2280 offers 8 hours of parking for $8.00, tax included, for Lincoln Center patrons (you need a ticket stub).
