This review is from: Park It! NYC: Complete Guide to Parking Garages (Park It NYC: Complete Guide to Parking Garages) (Paperback)

As with any printed information, this guide gets outdated quickly. It is handy for a general idea of prices & locations, but check the internet for the latest information.

I love my "Park It" guide. Not only can I find the best places for me to park - but I can find the location of the primary tourists spots on the great maps (easy to read). For example if I am looking at the upper east side section I can find out where the Guggenheim, the Frick and the Metropolitan are...and then find the closest parking spot. I am giving it as a present to all of my friends.

Hi. So I just needed to find a parking garage in New York City to park my car for monthly parking. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the monthly parking but also didn't want a garage miles and miles from my apartment. This book really saved me. I first looked at the maps section to start to look at garages near me, or within reasonable subway distance. Then I checked out which of those were under or within my desired budget. I had to call a couple of the garages that were referenced in the back of the book, but after a quick discussion with them I eventually found a garage that was perfect! It was fantastic. I never expected to have such an easy time finding what I was looking for but I did! And I wouldn't have done it without this book. I'm gonna keep a copy in my car too since I have to drive around the city a lot for work in all parts of the city, and I'm certain that Park It! Guides is going to come in very handy for me. Thank you Park It! Guides!
