Ok, one response to this is sarcasm, which is deserved.

Seriously, what the fuck? You want to park in Manhattan near a subway that goes to Penn Station...which is in Manhattan?

Explain yourself, sir.

Parking around penn station is very expensive. I want to find a place where monthly parking is a bit cheaper (possibly by a subway that goes to penn station). My workplace is directly next to the Penn station. This is very much NOT a sarcastic question.

Queens, Brooklyn, and SI are out of the question bc it’s too far away from me. I’m from upstate.

If your driving from upstate either take the long metro north ride OR take the L and pay for parking. It makes little sense to drive to manhattan to then take a train to go to a different part of manhattan

I have to pay for parking by the MNR anyway. It’s $15 a day, and they’re out of permits. MNR is $9.2 each way with the 20-ticket pass, and I have to pay 2.75 for the subway from GCT to Hudson Yards. So, it costs me about $39 per day I commute (I come a few times per week).

I want to come to the office more often, so I feel like getting monthly parking in upper manhattan could be worth it, if it’s like $300/mo? I would definitely skip the tolls, and only have to pay $5.5 for the subway.
