What's better than a doctor's note, more painful than a trip to the dentist, and virtually inescapable? Yes, my fellow New Yorkers, it's a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Here is this Guidespotter's guide to surviving your trip to the N-Y-C D-M-V and beyond. *Not included in this guide*: GIANT MOM HUG (but yes, working on that...)
License X-Press DMV
300 West 34th St. New York, NY 10001
License X-press is “fast” like a cheetah who just had a larger lunch. It’s where you’ll want to go if you need your driver’s license renewed or if you’re looking to trade an out-of-state license for an Empire State one. Basically, you will not have to camp here as you would have to do at the regular ole DMV, which is good news.
Complete Traveller Antiquarian Bookstore
199 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10016
You’ll need a good thick book under your arm for this bonfire of precious, precious time. Just across town on East 35th street is The Complete Traveller Antiquarian Bookstore. Why? Because Borders and Barnes and Noble aren’t hurting for business. Spread the love and crack open something that conjures up images of places far, far away from the New York Department of Motor Vehicles.
"Chair...chair, chair...chair, chair, chair..."
There will be an eye exam for your own benefit, and the benefit of all the other NYC drivers texting away on their Blackberries in the middle of the morning commute.
Grand Central Optical Co Inc
369 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10017
If you should need specs, sunglasses, or contacts to help you with your driving experience, support this New York City family business conveniently located in Midtown, not far from Grand Central Station.

THE TWEENBOT FACTOR!
Would you help a Tweenbot cross a New York City street? Would you run one over with your car?
Zipcar
127 E 24th St, New York, NY 10010
With gas, insurance, and 180 miles free, it’s easy to see why so many claustrophobic New York drivers are proud Zipcar members. Now get out of town!

Hertz Rent A Car
210 W 77th St, New York, NY 10024
If you’re new to car rental in New York City, live by these words: No Holiday Rentals. Hertz and every other car-lending giant in the world can smell desperation and poor planning like a German Shepherd smells fear. It will cost you half a month’s rent to get from the Upper West Side to you Aunt and Uncles’ house Upstate. Also, if your Miniature Collie, Ted, comes along, be sure he doesn’t leave his fur coat behind. That will also cost you dearly on the way out.

Reason #679 to take the Subway instead
New York Defensive Driving
“The best defense is a good offense” (?) Because this adage might not impress a judge, driver safety courses available online here.
Shiny means better. Never forget that…
Just Curious, Department of Motor Vehicles:
It’s become commonplace for Americans across these United States to exchange horror stories, jokes, and empathy when it comes to experiencing the Department of Motor Vehicles. This begs the question, why has no one done anything to make it any better?
Answer: Ahahahahaha! Have a seat.
Survival of the Most Patient, Least Belligerent
Driving Around New York City - 1928
This video makes the driving look as painful as the wait at the DMV. Simple fact is, no shift of gears, honk of horn or gesture of disgust can make your number appear any faster. You’re in it for the long haul. (Sit.)
Let's Go Driving School Inc
1804 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10029
Would you or would you not like to meet the person who designed this website? (See link below.) It’s an experience like none either. This Guidespotter’s Bubble thought “?!?”
If you’re after your first driver’s license, you’ll need to learn from the pros how to dodge delivery bicycles, defend yourself against cab divers with anger issues, and parallel park in a city that stops for no one.
Guidespotters Note: Sinatra’s wisdom does not apply to driving. “If I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere” goes right out the window as soon as you cross the Massachusetts border.

Car Cash
Congratulations! You now hold a driver’s license from the State of New York. Now it’s time to get Dr. Phil real with you: no way on God’s green earth can you afford to keep your ’96 Nissan Altima with Buckeye State plates in this city. Time to turn that car into the kind of cold hard cash that can fund a trip to Ikea to furnish your first NYC apartment.
You are Here (Not in the river. Good, good.)
The NYC Parking Ticket Tracker Hat
$17 @ Cafe Press
Stick it on the head, stick it to The Man.
New York DMV Herald Square
1293-1311 Broadway New York, NY 10001
This is the Big One. Think: bakery, minus the delicious aromas of coffee and fresh dough rising. If you manage to smile in your license photo, it will be from the unbridled joy that accompanies any prolonged exit.

MacY's
151 W 34th St, New York, NY 10001
Because you might feel like crying after a trip to the DMV; either because it ate up your day like Pac Man on steroids or because you know you’re going to look walleyed in your license photo when it arrives. If you hit Macy’s on a late weekday morning or afternoon, you can shop your way to the top without too many speed bumps and deal with the guilt tomorrow.

S'been a long day at the DMV...
If you’re going to walk home in shame anyway, why can’t the shame be covered in little alligators?

You should add my biking guide to this guide: http://www.guidespot.com/guides/hot_wheels_biki… 6 years in this city and I’m still holding on to a PA driver’s license. It always expires around Thanksgiving time (convenient, b/c I’m in PA for that) and NO lines.
