Ah Metro north

[whaler11]

Get to NH half hour early. Nowhere to park.

Try West Haven... nowhere to park.

Next stop Fairfield Metro - fine bonus of accident on 95 and bumper to bumper traffic on way.

Good times. Hard to believe live attendance is down.

 

[whaler11]

For context left Newington at 1:35 to catch the 2:45. Best case is being on the 3:56!

 

[CTBasketball]

Makes perfect sense since most spots on weekdays are consumed by commuters.

Now only if MTA extended north to Hartford...

I too tried to make the 2:45. No parking. Looped around forever until finding a spot at temple st parking garage. Gonna be fun later walking to my car. Made the 3:25. Tons of UConn fans and plenty of beer on board

Fire Benedict. Blame Warde. They haven't fixed commuting into NYC yet.

Welcome to the 203, the economic, social, and overall engine of CT. We welcome our 860 hayseed neighbors, as they transverse our lovely gold coast on our shiny monorail.

Man of your stature should've valet parked @ Union Station. $25 - no hassles.

I hear those things are awfully loud.

Can you do that? Is that a real thing?

I had no idea I'll do that forever if that is the case.

Of course I have a 203 number. My time on 95 today reminded me why I had to bail. I can't do traffic.

Yup... works great when running late @ peak time or when parking is a challenge during holiday season. Saved my lazy a few times. Shhhhh..

[SubbaBub]

Tourists.

Best chance to find close parking during a weekday is.....Bridgeport.

Don't say I never gave you anything.

P.s. I assuming you checked the garage across the street from the Union Station Garage, right?

 

[Adios]

Bridgeport is not what it used to be. Proof? Largest city in CT but third in deadbeat dads! Hartford is #1. Any thoughts, @Deepster?

I know where all the parking is in New Haven. Women don't love Temple St.

I lived in walking distance of the FFLD station for years - it's only this valet I had no idea about.

Fairfield Metro seems to be a good parking lot other than the no retail available.

Going to be a very fun train ride tonight.

I can usually find parking in the parking garage across the street from the train station.

Park @ State Street commuter lot off of 91 and hoof it

LOL thanks. I never thought to check there!

 

[Penfield]

I went to Stamford and made the 2:25. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the advice everyone

Yes when you meet women I look forward to your reports.

For future reference. Outdoor parking is only a block and a half away. Far better than going to Temple street.
An additional garage has been held up by politics for years.
Interesting re valet. It is a good option, but no one was there at about 1:00 in the afternoon.
If you are not going or coming at rush hour, Stamford is a much better option. More trains and a new garage about a block away.

Not when the New Haven train station is under 7 miles from home!

I know every nook and cranny for parking down there. Valet is always in operation -- last doorway on far right if facing building. They will come out. Never had an issue when I've decided to use it out of necessity. Trust me -- I'm not a tourist or a novice.
