Affordable public parking in Manhattan near Time Square?

We are planning to drive to NYC for the upcoming spring break and stay there 3-4 nights, we found a couple of hotels near Time Square for about $200US per night, They charge an extra $100 US per day for parking. I am wondering if there is any public parking around for a more reasonable price? (maybe around $50US per day would be acceptable to me)

We have been to NYC a couple of times and stayed by Times Square. We parked on the Jersey side at Square Ramp for $12/24hrs and took the PATH train in to Manhattan from Journal Square which is across the street and walked to our hotel from 23rd street. The parking rate is now $17/24hrs. The train cost $2.75 one way. You really do not want to drive in Manhattan.

In the past we stayed outside of NYC where hotels offer free parking, we left the car at the hotel and commute to Manhattan everyday using public transit during the visit but this time we want to stay in Manhattan

thanks
