Side note people are overly afraid of driving in NYC. The boundary areas with highways, bridges, tunnels are kinda wild, but not too different from any major city's boundaries (e.g. Boston is worse). The northern parts of Manhattan and the Bronx were pretty wild from my experience. But south Manhattan and within the boroughs, it's not that bad.

I can even find street parking too sometimes. Sure, often that street parking is illegal because of some crazy rule like it's the 3rd saturday after a full moon, but whatever, I just don't pay the ticket since I don't live there. (Speaking of taxes against poor people... that's one that's ACTUALLY horribly crippling to poor people, but of course no pro-congestion Trumper gives a shit about that)

Even midtown is kinda interesting to drive in. It's pure chaos with no rules and like 2 inches of clearance in all 8 directions around you at all times, but no one ever hits anyone. Everyone is paying attention to everyone else and generally patient (once your brain learns to ignore the honking), you just focus on driving your own car and everything works out. It's so different from the typical suburban driving experience.
