Parking in Chinatown
Street parking depends on the block, side of the street and time of your stay. Use the map above to check a starting point, then choose a stay to find nearby streets whose recorded signs fit. The route gives you places to look; it cannot tell whether a space is open.
Parking signs on Chinatown streets
These examples come from our published NYC DOT sign records. They are individual restrictions, not a complete list of rules or a guarantee that parking is allowed elsewhere on the block. Sign arrows can limit a rule to part of a block; holidays and temporary changes can affect it. Move the map to your exact location for a fuller check and always read every posted sign.

Where should I start looking?
Try a location near your destination, such as Bowery, Mott Street, Hester Street. Move the pin to the block you want to check: parking rules can change at the next intersection or on the opposite side. The search may include streets outside the neighborhood.
Is there free parking in Chinatown?
Some street parking may be free when the posted rules allow it. Select “Find Free Parking for Today” or adjust your stay to check recorded restrictions. Availability is not guaranteed, and signs at the curb are the final authority.
What about street cleaning and meters?
Check alternate-side street cleaning times and all other posted restrictions for your entire stay. Metered spaces may have payment hours and time limits. See NYC DOT’s alternate-side updates and meter information for current city guidance.
