The Parking Expert’s - "Did You Know?" Tips for parking in NYC

* Although meters in all of NYC are no longer in effect on Sundays, most street signs still say that you have to put money in the meter on Sundays. The City estimates that it’ll take one year to change all the signs.

* If an NYC street sign says that you can be at a meter for 1 hour, you can get a ticket if you "Feed the meter", i.e. if you put more quarters in at 59 minutes.

* If an NYC meter is broken or missing, you can only park for one hour - REGARDLESS of the duration of time listed on the sign. You can not, as many people think, stay there for the whole day - they ticket for this. One hour is the limit.

* If you’re going to see a show in Manhattan's theatre district at night or on the weekends, you can park for free (we do it all the time).

* If you’re going to see the Knicks or Rangers at MSG (or a concert), you can park for free.

* If you don’t pay an NYC parking ticket, it can affect your credit rating (we know some ways to get out of parking tickets).

* Parked cars in NYC must be a minimum of 15 feet from a fire hydrant or risk getting a $115 parking ticket.

* If you’re willing to walk 10 minutes, you can save $50 by parking at one parking garage versus another.

* Meters in Midtown Manhattan are now accepting credit cards.
