I'm driving up the East Coast early next month and I am considering spending a night in Manhattan. I've been to NYC several times but have always flown to LaGuardia and taken a taxi into town. I'm not sure I'm comfortable trying to drive across the city because drivers there are so much more aggressive and fast-moving than I am used to. One little fender-bender could seriously complicate my trip. So I am wondering if there is a place in Jersey or on the outskirts of town that I could park my car and take the subway into town overnight. I'm looking for a place that would be close to I-95, secure but also relatively inexpensive, and within walking distance of the subway. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any info. |

If you don't want to drive into the city, it's easy to leave your car in NJ and then take public transportation over. Go online and look up the PATH trains - they're commuter trains that run frequently and all end in central Manhattan.
Parking in NYC isn't actually too bad. If you're brave, you can read the street signs, find a spot and park for free (find a more residential neighborhood outside of midtown) or you can find a garage (again NOT in midtown!) that will probably charge you from thirty to fifty dollars a day. I owned a car for four years while living in Manhattan and never paid for parking! |

You are a pussy. Man up and do it.
