As much as I want to enjoy a train ride into NYC, I find its usually cheapest to just drive and park for the day somewhere. You need to pay per person for train/bus tickets but gas and parking is just charged once.

I’m scared! There are four times as many people in NYC as in my home state.

I’m not afraid of being attacked or anything like that (the shank comment was a joke that fell flat). I’m scared of driving in the city: one way streets, not knowing the layout, etc…

Rather than scared, let’s say intimidated.

I go to New York a lot. Many of the people are very nice. Do not interact with the CD sellers or the fake monks. If they try to hand you something, don't take it. This usually happens in Times Square.

Between the tolls and the risk of parking tickets if you park in the wrong place (which is pretty likely for a first-time NYC driver who’s admittedly nervous about the whole idea), I don’t think that this is the cheaper option at all.

There's a bajillion lots that are like $30 for a day.
