What is your mental state when at the Vince Lombardi

It all depends on whether I'm going north or south. Many years ago I delivered multiple stops of new furniture to NYC on a regular basis, and really didn't mind it much, except for the lack of truck stops.

 

If I was there, it was just hanging out after delivering my load, waiting to find out my next load. Stressing out?? No, just take it easy and be careful. Been across the GW many times, never delivered to any of the boroughs, delivered in NJ a lot.

 

Any time your within a hundred miles of NYC your mostly concern with where your going. Routing in and out, traffic flow, timing, that sort of thing. NYC isn't really scary, just inconvenient, busy and crowded. Real rest comes farther out. (at least for me) The Lombardi is used only as a light convenience, stopping there means you forgot something or you are waiting just a bit for you planned time window. Also, anyone who plans to spend much time there may as well plan to be disappointed. There will never be enough parking and counting on getting a parking spot morning, noon or night is a crap shoot.

 

I frequently work in and out of new york and havent been to Lombardi since I discovered the truck-tractor-trailer parking in Manhatan. Check it out its on east 125th street between 2nd - 3rd ave. I dont know the name but I can find the number if your interested. its about 40 dollars to leave the truck for the night.

 

I found the number 212 534 8090 and they have a website www.nytruckparking.com

 

this about sums up my first and only time i have ever stopped there:

ALICE COOPER!!!

 

you mean lombardi right? Thats why I park at 125th street truck lot. its 24 hrs

 

Ha Ha.....gotta love the 18.375% parking tax.....only in NYC.

 

yeah I couldnt believe the parking tax in NYC is 18.375% but I like the place its only $40 tax included for the night and it gives me peace of mind. and its open 24 hrs for when I get in at 3am its cool with the attendant, I always bring him a coffee and he's happy.
