Nobody drives in NYC, there's too much traffic

But realistically, plenty of folks have cars in NYC. With a metro area of over 20M people, enough people commute into the city, or aren't close enough to LIRR/MNR/NJT, or prefer driving to visit, or just are needed for commercial/industrial/institutional uses to clog the city's roads.

Double parking is infamous in NYC, as are aggressive drivers and terrible roads and parking situations.

That joke doesn't work because the people who drive in NYC are by and large not NYC residents.

Depends on your definition of "plenty". NYC is the only city in the country where the majority of residents do not own a car.
