I lived in Manhattan for a couple of years and went on plenty of dates -- the subject of a car never really came up. The subway works just fine for most everybody.

In fact, I don't think a single person I went out with actually had a car of their own. People on this forum can probably afford to keep a car while in NYC, but consider the minimum-wage workers living there. No way the average person could make that work.

(Now, I did have my car parked off the island, but used it maybe a few times a year for longer trips.)
