Thank you all for the great tips. We opted to take a car service as we are not comfortable driving in NYC. My son lives in Central Jersey so we are getting the car service from his house and leaving our car with him. It is half the price they wanted from our house.
I do agree with MJKacMom , getting the car when getting back to Manhattan is a bit nerve-wracking, we have done that before as we have always used a car service. But my goodness, this year the cost was really prohibitive.
Bon Voyage to you all!
