Where's the best/safest place to park your e60 in Manhattan?

I've parked in the Port authority bus terminal parking a few times and once on the street down in china town ....any sane recommendations?

as a manhattan native, my immediate question is: why would you want to?

but..., that said, you might want to check out the new automated facility down in chinatown.

I have NOT used, but I like the idea of no human touch.

Hey man,

What area you planning to go to? there's plenty of parking, but always sketchy, and what times are you planning to go? i drive into the city all the time and i scout for parking.

but there's no safe parking in NYC.. LOL.

I'm talking about street parking. i hate paying for parking and valet.

The best place to park is at home...well at least it was! (see other post)

Anyway wanted to go into see the end of the Halloween parade in the village this evening, I guess I'll be there about 7pm The bus sucks as last service is before 1am, and I'm not going to drink.

I am not looking for street parking...only did it the one time!
