This time it is New York City that will have parking help online, however in New York it is not coming from the city.Instead of the city telling you what spots are open there is a database of parking garages and which streets are legal to park on during various times. If you know you need to be near a certain place at a certain time you can take a look to see which streets will be safe to park on and start there.
The website also recommends calling ahead to reserve a spot in a close by parking garage.
The service costs about $30 a year and there are about 100 people signed up at www.wheretoparkmanhattan.com. You can access the website from your PC or on you BlackBerry's browser.
