The alternate side parking suspension information for 2004 will be
published later this year and the holidays observed for this purpose
could change. For example, for 2003 the City added three holidays to
the suspension calendar -- Purim, the Asian Lunar New Year and Ash
Wednesday.
I found this information at the website of the New York City
Department of Transportation. The site provides comprehensive
information about New York City parking regulations and also allows
the downloading of the suspension calendar directly into a Microsft
Outllook calendar program. Here is a link to the page containing the
calendar:

I am confident that this is the information you are seeking. If any
of the above is unclear, please ask for clarification before rating
