Going to NYC and need some advice about parking and traveling?

so i want to go to NYC on october 4th - 8th but i don't know which way to get there. should i take a plane for 200 bucks or should i drive. if i drive i will go with another person so we can split gas. but even if we drive where will we park? i really don't want to spend a ludicrous amount of money for parking every day and i don't want tickets either. so i need to know if i should drive or fly and if i drive where can i park for free without my car getting towed or broken into.Going to NYC and need some advice about parking and traveling?
Parking alone would probably cost you $200 to stay here. Never ever bring a car into NYC if you can avoid it.Going to NYC and need some advice about parking and traveling?
Driving would be cheaper with someone to share the expense. Staying in one of the boroughs would probably be cheaper than Manhattan--as richard1 said. Then you can take the subway into Manhattan--it's safer than all the Hollywood movies would lead you to believe.


Driving isn't too bad if it's not rush hour. I've driven in Manhattan and Mexico City and Mexico City is far worse.


Check out Trip Advisor's list of NY hotels that other tourists have rated.
try howard johnsons in woodside, queens....20minutes to midtown and free parking at the motel..............free cerial..about $100 per day................lotsof different cultures there...............
If you park in the city, there's a thing called Alternate Street Parking. It means you can't leave your car parked in one spot for a few days. Parking is going to cost about $40-$50 a day. Plus, if you've never driven in New York, I wouldn't recommend it, if you've never done it.
IT DEPENDS ONWHERE YOU ARE GOING....MORE INFORMATION NEEDED???U CAN DRIVE I DRIVE ALL THE TIME...
If you are not familiar with NY, I would fly, esp if you plan on going only to Manhattan. Traffic is not too bad in New York if you are familiar with it and you know exactly where you want to go. Parking will be high. Mass transit is good. I grew up in the New Jersey suburbs and always would drive in the city, often paying $40-50 for the day to park. Yesterday I took a train in and actually enjoyed my trip more than I have in the past without dealing with traffic and finding parking
