Looking for a Place to Park Your Bike?

So in honor of everyone wears green day, I thought I would share an awesome tip from Transportation Alternatives (a really worthy and important organization) to help make living a greener life a little easier. Because not everyone is allowed to take your bike inside buildings or restaurants and you might not want to chain your bike to the nearest parking sign, Transportation Alternatives has been kind enough to compile a list of bike parking garages all over the city.

For your convenience I have copied the list below, but please go and check out the original list here.

Manhattan 
85 4th Ave (at 10th St.) - Secure bike room $25 per month 
888 Eighth Avenue (at 53rd Street) - $10 per 10 hours 
J & S Rent-A-Locker, 147 W. 35th Street (b/w Broadway amd 7th ave) - $5 per day 
105 Essex Street (b/w Delancey and Rivington) 
80 Pine Street (West side of Water Street b/w Pine and Maiden) 
Best Parking, 310 W. 40th Street (b/w 8th and 9th) - $15 per hour 
Central Parking, 224 Mulberry Street (b/w Prince and Spring) - $40 per month 
Chelnik Parking, 200 E. 27th Street (at 3rd Avenue) - $6.50 per hour, $206 per month 
Chelnik Parking, 425 Park Avenue (at 55th Street) - $23 per hour 
FastPark, 49 W. 38th Street (at 9th Avenue) - $20 per day 
Gallant Parking, 182 E. 95th Street (at 3rd Avenue) - $21 per day 
Impark, 55 Water Street (south of William Street) - $30 per month for non-tenants 
Kinney System, 345 W. 58th Street (at 8th Avenue) - $37 per day, $16 per hour 
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 5th Avenue (at 82nd Street) - open during museum hours

Brooklyn -Currently there are no garages listed in Brooklyn.

The Bronx
Jerome Avenue at Gun Hill Road
Jerome Avenue at 190th Street

Queens
Court Square (near Jackson Ave.)
90th Avenue (bet. Parsons Blvd. & 160th Street)
Archer Ave. at 165th Street
Queens Borough Hall
Queens Plaza South at Jackson Avenue

They don't list any for Brooklyn... but I have a feeling there must be at least one or two there and they also don't list any for Staten Island. Does anyone know of any garages either in Brooklyn or on Staten Island? Or do you know of any that aren't listed on Transportation Alternatives website?

That's all for now folks! I hope everyone has a chance to go outside and enjoy the day! Don't forget to wear your green, go watch the St. Patrick's Day Parade (on Fifth from 42nd to 86th Streets, from 11am-4pm), and enjoy the unseasonably warm weather we have been given.

Happy St. Partick's Day Everyone!
