For our guests driving in for the night or weekend we recommend this parking garage near the freehand. Please note that overnight garage parking can get pricey, so we recommend taking public transit in if you are staying overnight.
Travel Note
If you are arriving to New York City via an airplane, please note that rental cars are not needed to have a fun and full visit. Whether it be the subway, bus, taxi, or Uber we can guarantee it is a better option than driving. We highly recommend traveling to/from the airport using a taxi or Uber/Lyft. Going somewhere within 15 blocks? Walking is the best way to see the city!
