Parking lot

Upper Manhattan has its share of tight blocks, but Parking lot on Broadway offers a rare stretch of open curb cut. The lot spans the 3200 block—3259-3273 Broadway, New York, NY 10027—where the sidewalk widens just enough to let drivers ease in without scraping mirrors. It’s the kind of space that doesn’t announce itself; you spot it only when you need it.

Street parking in Morningside Heights can feel like a scavenger hunt. This lot cuts through the noise, giving drivers a predictable rectangle of pavement between 122nd and 123rd. No gates, no attendants—just a flat expanse that serves the usual mix of commuters, Columbia affiliates, and weekend shoppers who’ve given up on circling the block.

Neighbors use it for everything from quick errands to overnight stays. The absence of meters or time limits means you can leave the car without racing back to feed quarters. No reservations, no surprises—just a place to pull in and walk away.

If you’re heading over, call ahead on the off chance they’ve posted temporary restrictions. Reach them at no phone listed. For directions, the map is here: straight shot up Broadway. Sometimes the simplest spots are the ones you keep coming back to.
