We drive into Staten Island and for $7 we park the truck in the secure lot at the Staten Island Ferry. We can park for 24 hours there 
The Ferry is free, so we take that in, subway to wherever we want to go. Trains run every 5 minutes in the city, every 20 after midnight. Not a bad deal and you get around swiftly.
The city is easy to get around because it's all set up in a numerical grid. Avenues run north and south and streets run east and west. Every other one (both avenues and streets) runs one way or the other and at certain points and certain avenues they are two way, north and south traffic.
Times Square is pedestrian traffic only now.
The subway is my favorite way to travel because you get to see so much of the city people there and there's always that one man band at the Times Square station!
