Answer #1

You won’t really need a car to get around. In fact, it’d probably be pretty annoying most of the time. There’s a bunch of different ways you can get around there, but I wouldn’t recommend bringing a car to drive around. Traffic is crazy there. NYC is great. Good luck!

Answer #2

Absolutely not! You say “near NYU”…that’s in Manhattan of all places in New York City!! Let me give you a few reasons why not : -car insurance is ridiculously expensive -a place to park your car could cost well over $100 a WEEK -you are bound to have a small fender-bender at least every couple of months or at least get scratches or a ding on your car frequently -if you drive to other places in NYC, you will have a hard time finding parking and/or have to pay $$$ for parking in some garage. -“ima work all over”? Does that mean NYC? If so the busses and subway aren’t super clean…but they’re efficient. Also, the tolls for the tunnels and bridges in/out of Manhattan are expensive too! -Oh…and did I mention the traffic? During morning and evening, you can walk faster than the traffic moves

Answer #3

What you heard is right, you don’t need it. You can get a bicycle if you don’t want to use the bus or metro.

Answer #4

well depends on where you live…many use the city transport system. Most have vehicles for personal use. Good luck with your move.
