Traveling to NYC by car

[Anonymous]

We would like to go to NYC by car but DH is reluctant to park in the city. Does anyone know a place in the suburbs where it's safe to park but still easy to get on train/to the city?

Jersey city. Right across the river.

You can do that and take NJT in. You can also park in the Metropark station lot and take Amtrak in.

Totally safe to park in the city. We used to live there and parked all over midtown with no issues. Now we just prepay for a garage and enjoy the city without the hassle of the car.

I agree that it's fine to park in the city. Where are you going? There are garages everywhere. You could also park in Jersey City or Hoboken.

Outside NYC if you don't want to drive/park, there's the Secaucus Junction transit station parking lot as well as the others mentioned.

In the city, I've never had a problem finding street parking on weekends in the Columbia University Area (Riverside Dr, 115th-120th).
You can also search for (and even reserve) lot/garage parking using Google maps.

PS It is also easier to drive in NYC than in DC--some place/times are congested, but signage is much better.

I never have much trouble parking on the weekend on the Upper East Side. My friend lives at 94 and Lexington and I always find a spot, more easily than in Georgetown for sure.

Otherwise park in Hoboken or Easport Part of jersey city and take the PATH in
