Stuck in NYC - chances of getting out Monday night or Tuesday?

Bus definitely. To at least Philly.

+1. Tons of nyc to dc buses that are cheap too. Get out today if you’re worried about missing that Tuesday flight

This is OP - I am watching those as well. I am trying to balance the desire not to miss the Tuesday flight against some very nice, expensive broadway show tickets! Ugh.

This is iwhat I’d do.

Poor planning on your part. The weather people have been forecasting this storm for a week. Why did you lock your car up to Monday? Get better organized in the New Year. The news and weather have asked everyone to travel on Saturday in areas that will be impacted with ice and snow. Call the airline and see if you can fly in and out of NYC instead of D.C. Pick up your car in NYC after your other trip.

What garage is this? Kinda unfathomable that an NYC garage is closed until Monday AM. They didn’t say anything to you when you dropped off the car?

Presumably because OP was not aware the garage was closed on weekends? Duh.
It's easy to get confused as a visitor to NYC.

We tried this as well! Most of the Amtrak are cancelled Monday. Have one at 2 PM that isn’t cancelled yet bit not holding out hope.

There are several Amtrak trains still running that route. I’m monitoring because I’m scheduled to take one.

+1 You didn’t read the conditions and hours?

This is so unhelpful!!! I have had friends who have found themselves in similar situations. It happens. Good luck OP!

I booked it through spot hero and honestly it wasn’t apparent until we scrolled way down to garage hours. It laid out the oversize vehicle fee, no in/out, etc but the garage hours weren’t on the check out screen. I’ve booked spot hero several times and never encountered this.

This is what I’d do. Leave tomorrow via Amtrak or bus if you have a Tuesday flight. One person stays behind until the roads are passable, or someone comes back later for the car on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Sorry, OP. At least there are worst places to be stuck than NYC?

Yeah, probably but the lecture is kind of pointless. We were heading back from Boston.

It is also odd that everyone assumes OP picked the garage. It is totally possible that OPs spouse picked the garage. DH and I divide and conquer on stuff like that all the time.

Sounds like it was an issue with spot hero. I have had other issues with spot hero and what OP describes seems totally believable to me.
