## Quick answer

Use Financial District garages within a 5-minute walk

## Detailed answer

The Charging Bull stands in Bowling Green (Broadway & Morris Street). For a short visit, use garages within about a 5-minute walk—not distant Hudson River or Seaport lots.

Best walk (roughly 2–5 minutes, ~0.1–0.2 mi): LAZ Battery Parking Garage at 70 Greenwich Street (not 70 Little West Street, which is a residential address); ParkRight/Ocean Parking at 1 West Street; and garages commonly listed near 237 West Thames Street or 100 Pearl Street on booking platforms.

Compare rates on ParkWhiz, SpotHero, or SpotAngels before you go; hourly pricing changes with time of day and events.

Not practical as "walking distance": South Street Seaport garages are about 1 mile away (often 15–20+ minutes on foot), and Pier 40 at Hudson River Park is roughly 2.5 miles—too far for a quick bull photo stop.

Street parking: Some metered blocks exist in Lower Manhattan, but spaces immediately around Bowling Green are often restricted or short-duration. Read posted signs; garage or subway is usually more reliable for first-time visitors.
