Free Parking in NYC
Here's a how-to guide to getting free parking in NYC. sort of.
Lots of movies and TV shows are filmed in NYC. Heres a list of those currently in production.
There's usually advanced warning, with signs like this one for a Law & Order filming on Jenna's block.
If you spot one of these "NO PARKING b/c of movie" signs, park there. Your car will be fine.
I was a bit nervous when I overslept this morning and wasn't able to move my car by the designated time. And I awoke to find an empty spot where my car had been parked.
But when I approached one of the NYPD tow truck guys and asked about my car, I learned it was only down the block.
My car's windshield had a lovely note that read:
Do Not Summons or Tow for 48 Hrs From Date of Relocation! The beauty was they reparked my car in a no standing zone but it was legal. For two days!
Too bad I had to go to brooklyn. Otherwise I would have happily stayed legally parked in an illegal spot...
So next time you see a no parking sign from a movie/tv shoot, park there.

that's hilarious. so did they treat your car ok? some friends who have had their cars towed reported new dents and scratches ...
to tell you the truth, i have no idea. my car gets banged up a lot in the city, that I stopped caring. I'm sure Ill care when my lease is up and I'll have to pay the damages
Same thing happened to me once. But not on purpose. I was worried at first and called the number posted on the street. The person answering the call told me where my car is and I found it pretty quickly.
Still, I would not do it again. I like knowing where my car is.
