Now's the time when New Yorkers are finalizing their vacation plans and anticipating last-minute weekend trips. The process of leaving the city to venture out East or to other destinations within driving distance is made significantly less daunting when you have a dedicated place to load your car and get situated before hitting the road. Often as beautiful as they are functional, porte cocheres are the ultimate convenience for anyone on the go. Residents with access to this amenity can skip the stress and hassle that comes along with fetching the car from a nearby garage, attempting to double park on a busy city street and trying not to break a sweat while schlepping luggage to and from their apartment.
