The metro north is in the okay during the day area. After 8pm or so it gets sketchy. Not much to do locally without a car, but if you're working in the city I'm assuming you're playing in the city too. Most people here go to the big box stores and do fun things on the border lines or in the city. Parking is as bad as in Manhattan here as our corrupt city planning board has put up tons of buildings but has not added a single parking lot to accommodate the new people and cars in almost 20 years. Our meter maids are at the point where they are stealthing, walking around in plain clothes to avoid being harassed. they will literally scan your registration as you're pulling away from being double parked for a minute because you ran inside the store to grab something that you ordered online, and send you a ticket by mail.
