Peoples who have not experienced the joys of on street parking in NYC will not understand why it takes 2 hours...
Just wait 'till it snows... ;-)
Actually, DSNY is rsponsible for plowing the streats of NYC, so they often cancel ASP when it snows because there’s nobody available to drive the brooms.
However, after it’s stopped snowing and you have that wall of plowed stuff smashed against your car it’s pretty interesting.
Last year we had so much cold and snow I didn’t have to move my car except after it had thawed.
Waiting for friends on the stoop of my building on West 73rd I watched a man struggle for more than five minutes to get into a reasonably sized space. He had no clue, bumping both cars several times. I was laughing out loud. Frustrated and humiliated he jumped out of the car and shouted out to me, “Sure, Mr. Hotshot, I’d like to see you try!”
I accepted his offer, pulled his car up and in one smooth move eased it back into the space, got out, smiled at him without a word and went back to my stoop.
The fellow did turn a bright red as he walked away muttering.
At one time while on the block between Central Park and the Claremont stables I watched a confrontation between a would be parker and older tie dyed hippie. The hippie was collecting the horse manure blocking the parking spot. Hippie was very slow in gathering his prize and kept telling the driver he should keep a car in the city. Oh my, such cursing on both sides.
