Thanks for the replies guys.  I'm aware of the hazards for cars in New
York... our plan is, essentially, to not have a car in New York, really...
we just want it somewhere we can access it to get away for the weekend, and
do maintenance when necessary.  The idea is that we'll never actually be
street-parked in the city.

I'm hoping that craigslist will turn up a good price on a spot in someone's
personal garage, but, in the meantime, I await further wisdom from the great
vanagon list...
