Concentrated around Penn Station (Madison Square Garden + LIRR + Amtrak hub), Grand Central (Metro-North), Port Authority (Greyhound), Times Square (tourists), and West Village.

Why store your bags in New York?
The travel-day gap between hotel checkout (usually 11:00) and your next arrival (evening flight, night train, red-eye) is where days get wasted. Dropping bags for €5-8 turns a wasted afternoon into another half-day of New York. Same for layovers: 6-hour connections become city visits instead of terminal boredom.
