Default Bike Parking in NYC?

Want to take bike into the city now and then but having trouble finding lot to park it in. Looking for daily bike parking in midtown.

I don't know much about LOT parking in the city but I do know if you run around town many bikers just park wherever they want and remove their license plate. allot of NY city bikers I know have velcro on the back of their plates to make them easier to remove and put back on quickly. I never venture into the city other than by train. I can't stand the congestion

I would think they would impound the bikes if they have no plates on them.

Go chum it up with the building's stationary engineer, and you can park it right in the building's loading dock.

Are you serious - free? That's great - I work a few blocks from there.
