After six months, the policy of tolling drivers has reduced traffic and raised hundreds of millions of dollars for the city's transit system. But the Trump administration is still trying to shut it down.

Honestly you wouldn't want to drive there as a visitor. Like, you wouldn't be driving from spot to spot, that would be a nightmare.

Hopefully they have decent medium term parking garage on the outskirts, then you could park and then transit/walk/uber/taxi. That would be ideal.

Edit: or I guess just park at your hotel for the entire stay. That would be even easier....

Yeah we visited Toronto recently and just parked at the hotel the whole time. When you're traveling with 6, a car is cheaper than flying in plus you're not as limited on luggage. New York isn't that far from us and I've been upstate but never to NYC.
