Better to park in the city, out of the city, or take the bus in?
I posted my question in this thread...

http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...ML/000130.html

....but I fear it may get lost.

I am inviting a longtime friend from Pennsylvania to visit us for one of our nights in NY.

They are extremely short on $$$. In fact, I am probably going to consider treating for their one night hotel so it's not a burden.

They CAN drive to the city, but SHOULD they?

They will be traveling Pottstown, PA to NY, 2 adults and a 14 m.o.

Options as I see it are to DRIVE somewhere near NY and park for 36 hours at a lesser rate than IN the city and take a subway or something into the city to the hotel.

OR, take a bus to Penn Station and then a subway to the hotel.

I guess, besides cost, the other factor is they will have luggage and a baby to take from either the car parking lot or Penn Station.

Thanks
