Is there parking at Leisure Pro in NYC?

[mike_s]

The OP said they were going on a Sunday. Is LP open on Sundays? Just wondering............

I think they are open on Sundays and closed on Saturday. I believe its to do with custom of the religion of the majority of the employees that they are closed on Saturdays.

I was aware of their religion, but very ignorant of days of observance. Thanks for clarifying.

there is a train station right a newark that you may be able to take into NY using the directions on the leasure pro website.

It will not be a 30 minute detour. I grew up on the NJ side, where the Lincoln Tunnel is located. There is no way that you can get from Newark airport to Leisure Pro in 30 minutes. You will probably spend that much time alone sitting in traffic once you exit the tunnel. Now, if you are planning are driving through the city from the North, that will take even longer. I always took the Path into the city because it is by far easier and cheaper. Not to mention faster if you are traveling during peak hours.

Check with them before you go. There are some Jewish holidays that land on a Monday and they sometimes close depending on which one it is.

Here's the deal with Sundays; they are always closed on Saturdays and always open on Sundays EXCEPT when they're not open at all for certain blocks of time throught the year. Sometimes they're not open for weeks. You HAVE TO check their site or call and ask about you specific date because the only thing that would suck more than walking all the way there with a hangover to buy something you've finally decided you really "need" only to find they're closed by reason of religion, would be driving there, finding a place to park, paying for a place to park.............................. Call first.

I think she's making a 30 minute detour on the way to Newark from Mass.

I will be traveling south from Massachusetts to New Jersey, and have to pick up a couple folks at the Newark airport around 7pm. I was thinking I could make a detour. I'm not looking for gear per say, but maybe for some knick-knacks and do-dads. You know, the kind of stuff you always forget to buy like a tank light, sink the stink, and that kind of stuff. It also seemed as if the shop was calling, if not luring me.

I'll heed the various discussions and call them, just to be certain of the details.

Thanks all!

I don't see how you could make that detour in 30 minutes. The gridlock is bad in that part of Manhattan and you are talking about rush hour if you are traveling during the week. Good luck!

Based on my experience of going to Leisure pro twice, i'd have to say that there's very little if any parking available on the street that LP is on.....

I think most everyone who drives there, parks in a parking garage, as you can imagine public parking is quite hard to find in the city.

The detour is only 30 minutes before he gets back to the point where he would have been anyway, in Manhattan, before he trys to get to Newark. And midtown on Sunday is a breeze.
