How did you find out, Burrell? Did they do any damage (to your account or wallet)?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

New York-affiliated people, thoughts on a place to cheaply park a car for a visit to the city? We're talking about driving to visit my brother in Manhattan between Xmas and New Year's. He lives on the Upper West Side and just spun me a tale of street parking horrors when someone else visited him. And apparently hotel parking is $150 a day? Is leaving the car at a commuter station in NJ for free/cheap our best bet? Or is there a better way?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Argh, Burrell. I hope that doesn't cause you too much trouble.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
flea, whenever I come to NYC from north of the city, I always park at the New Haven station and take the train in. I figure it can't be any more expensive than parking in the city itself, plus it saves me the horror of trying to drive/park in New York. I imagine the calculation would be pretty similar coming in from NJ.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I hope he's wearing warm clothes, it's cold on the high plains.
Yeah, he made sure to pack his warmest clothes. (He has an hour-and-a-half drive once he lands at the airport.)

That's what we always did, too - growing up in central CT we knew which were the best Metro North stations to leave a car at (some had free parking, but that was a looong time ago). But we'll probably be coming on i-70 or i-80 and I don't know the NJ suburbs at all! And also we'll have luggage, which is an added complication.

Drive to my apartment in Brooklyn and park for free on the street!
I *think* there is a free lot at the Newport Centre mall (which is right next to a PATH station), right across the river from Manhattan, but I'm not 100% sure so someone from NJ should probably chime in.

Yes, but you can park in a garage for $20-30/day, and some of the bigger chains have online coupons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Luggage and kids would make me think twice about parking and taking a train after a long drive.... I'd think you could google up a coupon for a garage that would be cheaper than a hotel and worth it.

Why does my BROTHER who has lived in MANHATTAN for more than 5 years not know these things?
Oh, wait, I remember, my sister and I somehow hogged all the common sense genes.
