City Parking

SoHo has its share of parking garages, but not all of them sit on a block as quiet as Mercer. City Parking is the kind of no-frills operation that keeps the neighborhood moving without fanfare. It’s the sort of spot you bookmark after circling for twenty minutes and swearing you’ll never do it again.

The entrance is at 40 Mercer St, New York, NY 10013—just south of Houston, where the cobblestones give way to smooth asphalt. They handle overnight stays, early-morning drop-offs, and the occasional lost ticket with the same low-key efficiency. Payment kiosks accept cards and mobile apps, so you’re not digging for quarters while someone honks behind you.

If you’re heading in, save the number: (212) 219-3413. They’ll confirm availability and rates before you commit to the drive. For directions or last-minute adjustments, the map is here. Nothing fancy, just a place to leave the car and get on with it.
