Local tips
Budget for parking
Overnight garage parking in Manhattan is expensive. If you're not driving daily, picking the car up the morning you leave saves a night or two of parking.
Know the congestion zone
Manhattan below 60th Street has congestion pricing. It's usually a non-issue for a quick exit to the highways, but worth knowing.
