Robotic Parking in New York - Blog Entry

01 Feb 2007 06:50 PM

I lived in the NYC area for about 14 years, and of all the times I parked in the City, I never once got even a scratch on my Jeep, much less have it stolen. If you park on the streets, however, you run a higher risk of having it stolen. That happened to a friend of mine. I tended to park near the edge of the city, where the parking is cheaper, and take the subway or a cab -- or walk -- to where I was going. And don't be squeamish about taking the subway. It has a bad rep. As long as you are in the main part of town and it isn't super late, you should be fine. However, do be aware of your surroundings. And hang on to your pocketbook ("purse" for you West Coasters).
