Central Parking System

its a convenient spot, but the only thing is, the guy running it was rushing us out the parking lot

If the early bird gets the worm, what does the early worm get?
Due to my sprained knee, I’ve been driving to work this week and have been scouting out each parking lot. Leave it up to me to come up with my own grading system:
— Proximity to work: its very close
— Price: its only $ 18 (including taxes) with the Early Bird Special (in between 2am-​10am and out by 2am)
— Vehicle Retrieval: the attendants retrieve your car while you are on line to pay
— Escape Route: you can easily hit the FDR going Northbound, go around the loop via South Street to get to the West Side Highway (to go to the Brooklyn Battery or Holland Tunnel), or go up Fulton Street to cut across the island
If you need a receipt, let the paying attendant know (the stamped ticket they give you has to be returned at the exiting gate).

I usually drive in on Friday’s or when I don’t feel like dealing with the J train. Central Parking on peck slip and pearl street is my go to spot. Its an outdoor lot so its a bit cheaper than the garages in the area.
The attendants are friendly and my car is usually ready to rock when I get there in the afternoon.
I don’t quite know the rhyme or reason to the pricing. most times, Its $ 15.something plus the tax and fees so it works out to be $ 18 when its all said and done, however, last week, I pulled in at about 7:15 and they had the Super Early Bird Special sign up, in between 2am and 8 am and out by 2 am was $ 10.something plus tax. I didn’t think much of it but sure enough, when I picked up Black Betty, thats our car’s name thankyouverymuch, the total was $ 12. not too shabby.
If you are parking all day, m-​f in that area, give this place a shot. Tell them Sam sent you. They will give you a puzzled look and act like they have no idea who I am… thats because they have no idea who I am, but you’ll get what you need for a price that’s right.
