I do not typically make use of public transportation (except when flying, of course, or unless I absolutely have to take the train), but the person I was travelling with was a lot more adventurous than I, so I made an exception.
Driving around Manhattan (in a rental
car) for a few hrs was one of the highlights of the trip (driving there I truly felt in my element!), although we soon determined that it would not be very practical to keep the
car for the duration of our stay in NY (we'd driven to NY from outside the state).
