Driving a Vette in the city is awesome , its like real life frogger .
If you decide to drive in , the Central Parking lot on 38th Street bettween 7th and Broadway knows how to take care of a Vette , parked there for years .

Many of the roads in the city are under construction, which they do all weekend long. If someone has 1 day to spend in the city, why should he spend it sitting in traffic on the Major Deegan?? Last Saturday morning, it took us 45 minutes to go 5 miles on the BQE to get to Red Hook.

I just love driving up there. We took the Z06 up over the VZ, BQE to the Brooklyn Bridge, went right up Center st then Lafayette towards Union Square then follow north to about 79th I think and cut through the park to the west side.
We parked in that area (right next to the Beacon Theather)
You're probably right though for someone who doesn't know how to get around it's best to take the train and enjoy the city on foot and Subway.....
We also did the Christmas run with Shermon and the gang last December. I just like driving in town for some reason... I love the Federal Plaza area as you come down off the Brooklyn Bridge where the Federal Court House is at Pearl & Center sts..

Things are a bit different now .... they have reformatted alot of the streets in Manhattan, cutting down car lanes and added bus & bike lanes. They have also closed 2 major intersections to traffic - Herald Square and Times Square and put in tables, chairs and potted plants.
So, now you have the same amount of traffic on the with a lot less space to put them.
This week we have the UN in session, so it has been horrible. We went from our house to a gallery in Long Island City (right by the Queensboro Bridge) 14.2 miles. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to get there via the BQE.

my bad, relative to weekday traffic during the day weekend nights are better but there is still traffic. 
And during the holiday season there are lots of gridlock alert days too. And as Linda said with the UN in session they have a lot of street closures in the UN area.
