Parking OUTSIDE Big Cities
While not uniformly the best in all locations a good choice is to go to
the airport and drop your car in long term parking. Ot's usually a reasonable choice for the area and there will be a reasonable way to get into the city. wrote: We are interested in making a driving trip to see areas of interest between DC and Boston, including NYC. For these cities themselves, however, we would rather not be encumbered by a car -- particularly in Manhattan. Is it possible to find safe, relatively inexpensive parking outside of these major cities and then travel to our lodgings by bus, train, or ferry? I have heard about the Weehawken ferry parking in NJ, but am not sure this is still a good alternative. Thanks. |

Its shabby and old fashioned but has a superb location 2 blocks from the mall and they have a parking deal Keith |

Many places with Early Bird specials. The early arrivers will most likely be commuters, a constant source of $$$$'s. The late arrivers are more likely one of's. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

Boston is very manageable from either the North or South. Both locations
will put you right on the mass transit lines (The T) and the fare is only about a $1 now. I'm familiar with the North Shore--In Revere there is Comfort Inn (walking distance to the T. A bit further North (Saugus another Comfort Inn on Rt 1). A short drive to Revere with plenty of parking, paid about $3 for the day and unlimited along Ocean Av and the Beach; 20 min ride to Boston.
