About this Location

Facility Overview

Edison ParkFast at 95 Market Slip is a premier open-air surface parking facility strategically situated in the Two Bridges neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Nestled between the iconic Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge along the East River waterfront, this spacious lot provides an accessible and convenient parking solution in an area otherwise known for notoriously tight curbside regulations and complex multi-level garages. The facility features a paved surface with designated lanes and attentive valet and lot attendants who orchestrate parking to maximize capacity and expedite vehicle retrieval. Because it operates primarily as an outdoor lot, vertical clearance restrictions that plague subterranean Manhattan decks are nonexistent for standard rooflines, though vehicles exceeding 70 inches in height or classified as oversized (large SUVs, full-size pickup trucks, and high-roof passenger vans) may be subject to standard NYC oversized vehicle surcharges.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned along the vibrant intersection of the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and the East River waterfront, 95 Market Slip puts drivers within minutes of exceptional cultural, culinary, and historic landmarks:

Two Bridges & East River Greenway: Located just steps away, offering scenic waterfront walking trails and bike paths directly beneath the suspension bridges.
Chinatown & Dim Sum Hubs: A brief 5 to 8-minute walk (0.3–0.4 miles) north toward East Broadway and Division Street delivers visitors straight to world-renowned bakeries, markets, and noodle houses.
Lower East Side Nightlife & Dining: Orchard Street, Ludlow Street, and Essex Market are reachable within a 10 to 12-minute stroll, providing access to trendy cocktail lounges, boutique art galleries, and historic delis like Katz\'s Delicatessen.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Drivers enjoy exceptional arterial convenience due to the lot’s direct proximity to the FDR Drive. Ingress is smooth via South Street or Water Street turning onto Market Slip, minimizing the need to navigate congested inner Chinatown corridors. For commuters transitioning between personal vehicles and public transit, the East Broadway subway station (serving the F train) is located just 6 blocks north (roughly a 7-minute walk). Additionally, the nearby B, D, N, Q, R, W, and 6 trains at Canal Street and the 4, 5, 6, J, and Z lines at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall are easily accessible. Multiple MTA bus routes, including the M15 and M15-SBS along Water and Allen Streets, provide swift north-south transit across Manhattan.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When entering the lot from the FDR Drive, watch for one-way street signage along Cherry and Water Streets to line up directly with Market Slip. Manhattan parking demand surges sharply on Friday evenings and weekend afternoons; pre-booking a spot via online apps or ParkFast direct reservations is strongly advised to lock in rates and ensure space availability. Drivers operating full-size pickups, third-row SUVs, or cargo vans should prepare for NYC standard oversize vehicle fees collected upon arrival. When retrieving your vehicle, keep your valet ticket readily accessible to ensure the attendant team can dispatch your car without delay.
