From Brooklyn or Lower Manhattan – Option
1
Get on the FDR
Drive North. Get off at “Houston Street” exit. Turn left at the
top of the exit ramp, and go through the intersection. There is parking on the
right side of Houston Street
as you proceed through the intersection after exiting the FDR Drive. If you proceed to Baruch Street, turn
left. There is parking on this street. If no spaces are available, follow the
turn around the back of PS 97 (the road will have two signposts, “Anew Street,”
spelled just like that, and “Stanton
Street”) and then swing left onto Mangin Road. There
is parking on Mangin, next to the school. This is in inside the Baruch Houses
complex. If there are still no spaces, go back out to Houston and turn right, then immediately turn
right again onto the Marginal Road
(the access road that parallels the highway). There is parking on this road as
well.

Drive the city streets to Houston Street. Turn right and take Houston all the way to
the FDR, near the Baruch Houses, which will be on your right, and the Lillian
Wald Houses on your left. Follow the Brooklyn or Lower
Manhattan – Option 1 for parking instructions.
