About this Location

Facility Overview

375 Lafayette St Parking (operated by LAZ Parking / Edison ParkFast) is a premier open-air surface parking facility strategically situated at the corner of Lafayette Street and Great Jones Street in Manhattan's historic and vibrant NoHo district. Unlike tight subterranean vaults or winding multi-story concrete structures common in downtown Manhattan, this facility features a well-maintained, open-air surface lot operated with professional valet service. Upon arrival, experienced valet staff handle vehicle intake and maneuvering, ensuring optimal space utilization and streamlined vehicle storage.

Because the lot utilizes ground-level surface parking alongside vehicle stackers, standard passenger sedans, sports coupes, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs park with ease. While the outdoor layout offers generous sky headroom, mechanical vehicle lifts and entry architecture establish a working clearance limit (typically capped around 6 feet 10 inches for standard maneuvers). Oversized vehicles—such as full-size pickup trucks, extended passenger vans, and tall commercial vehicles—may be accommodated depending on stall configurations, but are subject to Manhattan oversize surcharges. Attendants inspect each vehicle at check-in to confirm clearance and vehicle class before assigning designated parking bays.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Nestled where NoHo converges with Greenwich Village, the East Village, and SoHo, this lot provides an unmatched gateway to some of New York City’s most celebrated cultural, academic, and culinary landmarks. Visitors can easily step right out of their car and into world-class venues within minutes:

The Public Theater & Joe's Pub: Located just a 2-minute walk north along Lafayette Street, making this the prime choice for off-Broadway shows, musical reviews, and debut theater productions.
Washington Square Park & NYU Campus: A short 6-to-8-minute stroll west brings you to the heart of Greenwich Village, NYU lecture halls, the Kimmel Center, and the iconic Washington Square Arch.
The Cooper Union & Astor Place: Situated roughly 4 minutes north, offering convenient parking for university events, gallery visits, and the famous rotating Astor Place Cube ("Alamo").
Webster Hall: Just an 8-minute walk away, this legendary concert venue hosts top touring bands, electronic dance nights, and live performances.

World-Class Dining & Nightlife: Direct pedestrian access to celebrated NoHo hotspots including Il Buco, Vic's, Great Jones Spa, Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery, and nearby SoHo shopping along Broadway and Prince Street.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress to the lot is remarkably straightforward for Manhattan driving. The primary entrance is positioned along the east side of Lafayette Street, a wide, multi-lane northbound arterial route that channels traffic directly from SoHo, Chinatown, and lower Broadway upward toward Union Square. Great Jones Street crosses perpendicular to Lafayette, providing an easy east-west conduit between Broadway and the Bowery. Post-event departures are significantly faster than enclosed garages because cars are retrieved at street level without long waits in multi-story spiral ramps.

For commuters seeking seamless multimodal transit connections throughout the Five Boroughs, this lot sits amid one of the densest subway hubs in New York City:

Bleecker St / Broadway-Lafayette St Station: Located 2 blocks south, serving the 6, B, D, F, and M train lines for direct routes across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
Astor Place Station: Located 3 blocks north, providing fast access to local 6 train service.
8th St - NYU & Prince St Stations: Within a 5-to-7-minute walk, providing connections to the N, Q, R, and W yellow lines.
Roadway Links: Rapid arterial routing to Houston Street connects drivers east to the FDR Drive or west to the West Side Highway (Route 9A) and the Holland Tunnel.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Reserve in Advance: Downtown Manhattan parking spaces fill rapidly during weekend evenings and holiday seasons. Use reservation platforms such as SpotHero or ParkMobile before arriving to lock in lower advance rates and secure guaranteed entry.
Approach via Right Lanes: Because the entrance sits on the right-hand side of northbound Lafayette Street, merge into the right lane immediately after crossing East 3rd or East 4th Street to avoid missing the turn-in.
Account for Oversize Surcharges: Vehicles exceeding 65 inches in height or 180 inches in length (including full-size SUVs, minivans, and trucks) will incur a standard NYC oversize fee collected on-site.
Retain Your Valet Claim Ticket: The valet team will hand you a claim slip upon vehicle drop-off; you must present this ticket alongside your mobile parking pass when collecting your car.
Check Event Calendars: Plan for 15 to 20 extra minutes of navigation time if your arrival coincides with high-profile openings at The Public Theater or large weekend rallies around Astor Place.
