Parking OUTSIDE Big Cities

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.

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.

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.

Sure. If you just want to spend the day in Manhattan, take a ferry over
from Liberty Island park in Jersey City, NJ. I believe the cost for
the ferry is $5 each way and you get a nice view of the city from the
ferry. The Weehawken ferry is probably a good option too, but I have
never done it.

For Boston, park in Brookline or any of the other outlying areas
where there's a T-stop.

For Washington, same idea.
