    There is the Lambardi rest area on the NJ turnpike a few miles from the GW. That place is gigantic. There is also a few smaller truckstops off of exit 15 over on HWY 9 in NJ. I think those are going to be the closest. There is a pilot off of exit 40 0n I-95 in CT also.

    I can't take the credit for myself, but I saw it mentioned on here before about talking to an impound/tow yard. Or maybe a repair yard. I don't do NYC myself, so I don't know how feasible that is, or if it even exists nearby. just an idea.

    I feel for this guy I dont even live in a city but in the suburbs and have the exact same problem you can park #### anywhere, the only reason I get away with taking my truck home is because it fits on my drive way, try offering someone with some room to park a truck some money for the few times you are home

    Only been to the area once, but Cranbury NJ had a truck stop lot of tolerable size. Heck, even had a pull-through spot right in front of the highway exit when we got there (about 11:00, I think)
