Say you live on 29th Street. You need to find a monthly garage.
You could pay $643 at 10 E. 29th or you could pay $233 at 253 W. 29th.
We know this because of a new website called NYCGarages where
you can search by neighborhood, address, or attraction for daily
or monthly parking. Up pops a map showing the garage locations;
beneath the map is a chart with the garage name and address,
street and avenue, displayed from least expensive to most expensive.
And there's even more detail: click on the garage name for
additional info on pricing, hours, and garage capacity.
