Hey, New Yorkers: What's the best way to drive most of the way to the city (on the Turnpike, coming from the south), park somewhere, and take public transportation the rest of the way into Manhattan? Where "best" means "a combination of cheapest, quickest, safest parking, and least trafficked"?

Thanks.

Hm. I wish I could help more, but I've never had this problem, what with living in Brooklyn and all.

Depending on the time of day/day of the week, it's not so terrible to drive into Manhattan itself even and find a parking space, but don't tell anyone I told you that.

Alternately, I took a Jersey Transit train all the way to Trenton once on a day trip to Philly and it was easy and cheaper than Amtrak (and gasoline these days, possibly).

Oh, I'd totally take NJ Transit from Princeton Junction, or the Chinatown bus all the way from Philly, if I wasn't planning to use my car in North Jersey immediately after my weekend in NYC.

on weekends i used to usually just drive straight into manhattan (from either princeton where i worked, or near hackettstown where i lived) and park there. that seemed to be a little-known secret because it was incredibly easy going.
