  • Hitching Spots – Using your parents’ car can sometimes be more economical than renting one.

Hamilton Ave right before the BQE (by the bus stop). 
  • Manhattan Parking – We recommend using spothero.com when parking in NYC. It can save you between 30-70% on parking costs versus paying for a garage on the spot. The downside is that you can sometimes find parking on the street at a much lower cost. There are codes to use to get money off for your first park.
  • Minyanim & Z’manim Anywhere – If you are going out of town for a date and need to find a minyan, check out godaven.com (new & improved).

Alternatively, you can text any zip code of any location to 516-261-6262 and it will text back all z’manim relevant to that area.
  • Brochos Textline – On a date and forgot the brocha for a certain food? Don’t mumble a Shehakol or ask her for the brocha – text the name of the food to (612) Brochos or 612-276-2467. (tip: explain before texting)
