Today my friend Nicolette Salerno, who'll be guest blogging for me later this month, mentioned in a Facebook post that she was truly proud of driving by herself in NYC -- to quote "sometimes, it's the little things." I can relate. The how to of reaching and moving about in that shining cultural magnet on the horizon is often fraught with choice, none of which seem perfect. I'm not a fan of driving in the city myself. Did it when I lived there and owned a Karmann Ghia convertible (seat belts? heck, I sat on a big red cushion as I've never been that tall in the torso) those were earlier times. You could still find a place to park on the street in the Village. Imagine.
All of which reminded me (furtherance of "it's the little things") that we now have train service into Manhattan on the weekends in Montclair. True the train doesn't run its full route, starting at Bay Street but here's a little known fact -- there is a ton of long-limit metered parking near the Bloomfield train station, a quicker and cheaper trip.
If you do choose to drive, check out Icon Parking for discount parking coupons. Offered all over the city, you can often park for as little as $15 -- perfect for those late night events.
