Your best bet is to go through the tunnel before 6AM, because it's cheaper. Then find where you are delivering to, and if there is an alley behind the address (almost certain is), then that's where you'll likely deliver to, and it's where you should go and try to park until they open. That's what I would do if I wasn't familiar with driving around Manhattan during the morning rush hour, because there is no room for mistakes between 6-10AM. And there are several streets there where you can't make any turns at all until after 10AM, so you could be one block away and have to go 12 blocks,12 blocks and then 11 blocks to get back to the alley you need to go to. Being three minutes away can turn into an hour or two.

I'm in a st8 I go into manhatten all the time, I usually park in see caucus at Wally World, very large lot, and head into the big apple around 6 am , less than 10 min total drive time in then, then I get the heck out fast , lots of freight in jersey so it's never been a question of hanging out.

Yeah one of my last ventures there, 20 miles out took 3 1/2 hrs to get to Queens

Park at the Alexander Hamilton travel plaza on The NJ turnpike, Seacaucus - no worries about getting kicked out. Hole in the fence by the maintenance Garage near the exit road, walk up the road - turn left to Ledgends Diner.
