How will I find the parking in the Lincoln Square neighborhood in New York City if I move there?

Most people that have cars in Manhattan keep them in garages. If the particular building you live in doesn't have a garage, there are two big garage companies (Icon and Central Parking) that are right in Lincoln Square. They charge something like $500 / month, but there isn't much of a way around it. You can't park on the street every day if you live in Manhattan -- for one, that area is always packed so finding parking will be a nightmare. Also, theft and vandalism are just too rampant.
