"It's really disgusting what they're doing," Greenfield said. "They know that you believe that you can park anywhere you want today, and they know it's not true."
Greenfield has proposed making Black Friday a parking holiday, but that effort has stalled.
In the meantime, he has some advice:
"Don't get suckered into one of those thousands of New Yorkers today, who are going to get hit with a whopping parking ticket."
Calls to city officials have not been returned.
