Been using ParkNYC powered by Flowbird for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that helps you find and pay for parking anywhere in New York City. Pretty solid if you drive around the city a lot and always struggle to find a spot.
Here’s what you do: you can use the app to locate available parking zones, check rates and time limits, and then pay for your spot right from your phone. And there’s also an option to extend your parking session if needed – that’s come in handy a few times. And the ability to get reminders before your time is up is pretty cool, though it took me a while to figure that out.
Look, if you drive in the city a lot, you’ll probably find this app really useful. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a little clunky sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you’re tired of circling the block for an hour trying to find parking.
