Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ssussunriyh" data-source="post: 2564858">Here's a quote from the tourist's guidebook I have..."Think twice about driving a car to get around Manhattan. Traffic is nightmarish, parking on the street is almost impossible, and parking garages are outrageously expensive. If you must arrive by car [when first coming to the city], it's best to stash it away in a parking garage and then use alternative means of transportation [taxis, buses, subways, or walking] to get around."Many hotels [and big businesses] have either private parking or a special arrangement with a nearby lot. (Even the most expensive hotels charge for parking.) Parking lots are not hard to come by, though they are expensive."If you opt to park on the street, make sure you understand the the risk you run with frequent burglaries. Parking tickets are given without mercy, so don't park at a meter that isn't working, and be sure you understand the restrictions posted so your car isn't towed - something that happens all too frequently."</blockquote>
