I'm not the target demographic but all I can think is: why?

The city with the most transit/for hire transportation options in the country and a business goes up around bringing in more cars and making it more convenient to do so.

Parking a car in NYC all day must be the most inefficient use of urban space possible.

People use us for: cruise parking, hotel parking, Airbnb parking, when visiting a friend/ family.

Cruise- out of The Manhattan Cruise Terminal. They drive in from NJ, CT, PA and park while they're cruising- saving up to $75/ day.

The others- they want to visit NYC by driving into the city from their local state, but want to use transit while they're in town. Or they want to rent a car from a NYC airport. They pay for discounted parking with us, keep their vehicle parked for the extent of their trip (we don't give in and out access) and take public transport etc. while in the city.

So we've had nice success gaining initial traction with our typical marketing efforts, but wanted to know if locals had thoughts on how to capture more!
