leave it in Queens, Brooklyn or NJ, depending on which way your coming from, and take the train. Honesty, you shouldn t go. It s ten to twelve hours in the cold (if you want a good view) with no access to bathrooms or food. We locals don t go, the majority of New Yorkers at that thing are the NYPD.
If I were, don;t even think about drive it into NYC. Especially NYC, you gotta be crazy.. drive it in BROOKlyn and then take the metro.
It s going to be very very very crowded! Make sure ur there by the morning, and if u get up u will loose ur seat. Good luck!
