I parked in a tight Manhattan spot for the first time when I arrived to tutor this afternoon. By coincidence, one of the other Smart Cars in the area was parked nearby. It turns out that we're sandwiching my doorman's car.
Shirra took a cute shot of me in an even smarter car. This baby gets an unlimited amount of miles per gallon of gas -- it operates on foot power, tho it's a bit of a tight squeeze on the driver.

Why don't you park as in Europe? Not in parralell parking but in 90 degrees? Smart fits in 90 ;) and this would be not against of any traffic regulations in NYC.
Actually it IS against traffic regulations in NYC and in most municipalities across the US. I'd love to park the car perpendicularly, but it's unfortunately a bit too long for that. If you tried, the car would jut out just a tad. I think if it were somehow even smaller, cities might allow it. By the way, there are some cities that allow it, but it's usually a very good idea to check with the local police and parking enforcers.
