Driving in New York City is the worst, and everyone knows that. 

Driving here is sure to yield encounters with terrible drivers, lots of traffic, fear of blocking the box, and the worst tribulation: never, ever being able to find parking.

The fact of the matter is that most New Yorkers don't even have cars because of how terrible the parking situation is here.

There are, however, perks of driving into NYC. 

Operating on your own schedule is of course a plus. Maybe you're headed to Madison Square Garden to see a concert. Maybe you're on your way to a pal's dinner party, and they live in Manhattan. 

Maybe you're wondering whether you should drive or not, but the parking situation has you all stressed out.

Finally, there's an app for that. Check out ParkWhiz, the parking app we've all been waiting for.

Here's how it works. All you have to do is tell ParkWhiz where you want to go with your car. They'll respond with the closest spots and available rates for the date and time you need to park.

Sounds pretty excellent, doesn't it?

After they've told you where you're able to park, you can seamlessly book your spot online with their app - you'll be able to cancel up to the reservation time. Grab their app on the App Store here.
