NYC Parking Signs
Check parking parking regulations on all streets in NYC

HT to FT.

***The city has now added street cleaning / alternate side parking to the whole area! ***
In short: Park on a street that will allow parking for your entire trip.  Of course, if you're travelling for a week or more, that's not possible.
You can use Google maps and zoom in to see the alternate side parking schedule. This can help you pick an address for your GPS. When you get there, check the signs and park.  The walk North to the 94th st overpass to LGA. (Turn right as soon as you cross over, (don't pass the parking garage) and it will bring you to the front of Terminal B.)
 More specific information:

If you're flying out of Terminal A (currently, Marine Air Terminal and Delta shuttle) or Terminal B (Central Terminal), navigate to 94th St and 23rd Ave in Queens. In that area, alternate side parking can be found on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Fridays, all from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.

This is a residential area about a 15-minute walk from Terminal A and B, with sidewalk access along the whole route to the terminal. Just walk north along 94th Street, over the bridge and into the airport. Other people on this forum have posted about cars being broken into, but I have never had a problem. This part of Queens is mainly single family homes, very residential and I would think relatively safe. As in any big city, don't leave anything visible inside your car and make sure your car is locked.

If you're flying out of Terminal C (US Air) or Terminal D (Delta), navigate to 23rd Avenue and 101st St. In this neighborhood, you can find alternate side parking streets that are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, also 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. This neighborhood is also very residential and about a 15-minute walk on sidewalks to Terminal C or D via a bridge that goes over the Grand Central Parkway by the intersection of 101st Street, 23rd Avenue and Ditmars Blvd.


Alternate Side of the Street Parking: For those of you not familiar with this NYC ritual, that means that you cannot park on that street between those hours on that day. For example, the north side of 24th Avenue (where I parked last week), is a Tuesday alternate side parking street. That means that your car can be ticketed (and even towed) if you're parking on that street between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm on a Tuesday. As long as you park AFTER Tuesday at 1:00 pm, you car can remain there until the following Tuesday, when it must be moved by 11:00 am. The south side of the street is a Monday alternate side day. so if you're leaving on Monday afternoon, you can park your car there until the following Monday at 11:00 am. Other streets in the neighborhood are either Wednesdays or Fridays - just drive around until you find the one you need.
I usually park on Ditmars Blvd, a little before that Mariott. I then take a quick Uber ride right to the terminal. One time I took the Marriot shuttle (it was several years ago, so I don't recall the details)

K'yaduah,

"In New York, a guy walks into a bank.  He tells the loan officer that he needs to borrow $5000 because he is going to Europe for a two week trip.  The loan officer says the bank will need collateral for the loan so the guy hands him the keys and the title papers to his brand new Ferrari that is parked in the street in front of the bank. 

Obviously, a $250,000 Ferrari is more than enough collateral so the loan officer gives him the $5000.  The guy leaves and the loan officer drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground parking garage and parks it.

Over the next few days, the big joke among the bank employees is all about the foolish man that put up $250,000 collateral for a measly $5000 loan.

But, two weeks later, the guy returns from his trip and repays his loan.  Plus $26.92 interest."

The loan officer says to the guy, "I want to thank you for your business, but I'm curious.  While you were away, I checked and found out you are a multimillionaire.  I don't understand why you bothered to borrow $5000 when you have so much money."

The guy replies, "Where else in New York can I park my Ferrari for $2.00/day and expect it to be there when I return?"

If everything that was known wasn't posted, it would make rather boring reading...

There is a shul in Queens 3 miles away from JFK that advertised that you can park in their lot for free. They even have refreshments in the shul that you can take when you land. Call 718-641-5822

Rockwood Park Jewish Center
15645 84th St
Jamaica, NY 11414
(718) 641-5822

(718) 641-5740

(718) 641-6383


How would you get to Airport? Taxi?

I see on flyer talk that people park by Howard Beach or something for a few dollars. Anyone here ever do that?

Sounds like a great plan for all seasons but winter. I would hate to come back and have my car plowed in with snow. But will do in May. Thanks again.

Too chicken to save money with the potential of snow next week. Flying out Sunday from JFK.  $13.95 looks like cheapest I'll get. They have a place at Doubletree for $10 a day but shuttle leaves every 30 minutes.

Any benefits of Avistar over LongTermParking (not the airport one)?  Thanks...

Should the title be changed? or maybe JFK spun off into a new thread?

To clear up some questions. 
This ad was placed in this week's edition of Masa U'Matan (a lakewood weekly):

Park near JFK Airport in Shul Parking Lot
A shul near JFK International Airport in Queens is willing to let flyers park in their parking lot.
There are even refreshments in the shul! Leave your name, license plate number and phone number the day before at 718-641-5822.
They will call back with instructions. Note that the shul is not responsible for your car.  Donations are of course welcome.

I live 4 minutes from lga. You're welcome to leave your car here. I'll even move it for you for alternate. the only thing is if its right now, there's a lot of snow and not much parking availability on the street.
