 Lower East Side Street Parking Tips

Like most of New York, Lower East Side parking is no easy feat.  You have to know the inside scoop and how to keep up with the pace of NYC.  That’s why you’re lucky to have NYC Parking Authority to help!

The Lower East Side has ample unmetered street parking, if you know where to look. You may want to hunt in the areas between East 4th Street and 14th Street, just east of 3rd Avenue.  During weekdays, it is easier to find Lower East Side parking further east, while on the weekends, good parking can be found in the west.  Also, most of the metered parking is located in the west of the Lower East Side.  The closer to Williamsburg Bridge, the harder it is to find parking.  Pay attention to street cleaning hours by looking for the posted signs with the red “P” inside of a circle and crossed by a broom, that indicates Alt-Side street parking, which you can read more about below.

Lower East Side Alternate-Side Parking

Alternate side parking is a set of restrictions imposed throughout all of the metro New York City area. True to its name, alternate side parking requires that the entire side of the street be clear for street cleaning.  Restrictions change on a daily  pattern requiring the side being cleaned to alternate, hence the name.  Majority of the Lower East Side  is subject to Alt-Side parking, so pay attention to signage!

Most areas with enforced alt-side parking are physically marked by a sign that features a red “P” that is crossed out by a broom.  All areas marked as alt-side parking are subject to suspension for holidays and emergencies, but typically are on restricted for varying 3 hour time periods.

Be mindful of Alt-Parking that is modified daily.  Manhattan tow trucks work quickly, so be sure to check @NYCASP,  NYCTDOTs twitter feed for an update on Alt-Parking restrictions by zone.
