Two good spots to park besides the ones on the link I supplied which shows you "official bus lay over" parking. Remember, we are in "buses" which are really RV's but they are also really buses. NYC cops have better things to do like bust drug dealers and resell their dope then to stick a microscope up our butts at these designated spots. So we can get away with a lot more with our Buses because they don't look like RV's or the typical RV.
Oh, the two good spots. The ones I'm giving away that I should keep secret but I know that hardly anyone is going to use them anyway so what difference does it make ? Rockafeller Center right in front of the Today Show. The private security monitors Rockafeller and they call the police if they need something. They automatically presume the bus is there for either the bands that play every morning outside in the courtyard (park as close to this courtyard as you can) or they figure it's a guest on the Today Show. You slip by with diplomatic imunity of sorts.
I also parked in front of the Starbucks directly next to the David Letterman Show. Same program with Cops figuring that it's carrying a musical guest or similar. As your starring at the front of the theater, look to your left and the Starbucks, and parking spot (which clearly says "No Parking" is where you park. I parked there to get in line early and get Letterman tickets (free by the way). I stayed there and went back and worked from the bus. Around 11 or 12, I watched out the window as no fewer than 8 Cops held up the outside wall of the Starbucks and drank their brew and never gave our bus a second glance, much less a parking ticket. The key is to not stay in one spot more than two nights. There is ample parking (fire zones) besides the official and legal "Bus Lay Over Parking" if you wish.
More later if interested.
