I know that place. You pass close by it if you're coming in from
Allentown to the Holland tunnel. It was about $80 a night, and that
was several years ago. But it's the only place close by.

You can keep your westy pretty reasonable at the park place under the
George Washington bridge, comparatively speaking, but you won't be
able to stay in it. I don't think there is a place you could stay
under any circumstances anywhere in Manhattan, don't know about
elsewhere. If you found a place to park in the village, say near
washington square/NYU campus, you could probably stealth camp if you
didn't pop the top, stayed quiet and didn't burn any lights. If the
cops found you, you'd have a long way to drive to get some sleep!
