| Commuters rushing to find a seat on an NJ Transit train at New York's Penn Station. |
In view of the many perils of driving to and parking in Manhattan, do you really want to take the anecdotal advice of well-meaning readers whose observations appear in The Record today?
As he has done in so many past columns, exhausted Road Warrior John Cichowski merely regurgitates reader e-mails without ever bothering to check out the situation for himself, as any real reporter should do (Local front).
One glaring error is a lazy Cichowski declaring post-Hurricane Sandy, "PATH tube resumption is still far off" (L-2).
He also never says explicitly that Sunday is the one day when you can park virtually anywhere in the city and don't have to feed the meters, to boot.
You might want to ignore Cichowski's laughable ramblings and search for parking rules on the Web site NYC.gov (www.NYC.gov), including the following:
"On major legal holidays, stopping, standing, and parking are permitted, except in areas where stopping, standing, and parking rules are in effect seven days a week (for example, “No Standing Anytime”). Parking meters are not in effect on major legal holidays."
Front-page follies
There isn't much in the Sunday edition from Editor Marty Gottlieb, whose worldly concerns obscure the abysmal lack of local news from the assignment desk of Editors Deirdre Sykes and Dan Sforza.
Staff Writer Charles Stile continues his one-man public relations campaign for Governor Christie, ignoring how the GOP bully killed the biggest expansion of mass transit in decades and how we're all paying for that now in nightmarish traffic congestion (Political Stile, A-1).
A Correction on A-2 highlights yet another production error from Editor Liz Houlton, supervisor of the copy desk, this time in Travel.
From hunger
In Better Living, a list of pricey restaurants open for Thanksgiving doesn't say whether any of them serve naturally raised turkeys or steaks or wild-caught fish (BL-7).
Today's paper includes the 2013 Dine Out Guide to local restaurants, but readers will find only advertisers who paid to be included.
