    Only parking garages. It's a safe and well populated area. You can check Icon Parking for local garages or take a cab from any parking garage in Manhattan. It would be very rare that one would find street parking there.

    Yes and yes, however I had a hard time reaching them by phone to make the reservation. Ample space though.
