Parking for Nov 30, 2010 Rockafella Xmas tree lighting (New York, York: how much, cost)

[nicoleeee]

Can someone please tell me how much the parking is in the Xmas tree lighting area? Or ideas of a place to park and cost?
Thanks

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Astronomical cost aside, you really don't want to confront the traffic. Do yourself a favor and take public transportation.

Trust me on this one.

Lol!

Thanks Cavaturaccioli!

Most lots/garages will charge you anywhere from $20 to $40 for a few hours. Besides that and the ridiculous amount of traffic, you'd be better off taking public transportation. If you absolutely must drive here's an example: New York Parking | Central Parking System > Rockefeller Center Parking

Have fun!

park in one of the boroughs and take the train, do yourself a favor and do not drive in midtown, you will hate yourself for doing that.

err not really. who says you need to park in a garage and/or right near rockefeller center? park elsewhere and walk if you do end up driving. yep, crazy idea.

Take the train from CT, Long Island, or New Jersey......less traffic getting out of NYC.

Don't drive to midtown. It is a nightmare. If you really insist on driving to watch holiday lighting, drive to Dyker Heights Brooklyn.
