My office is giving away some really nice large plants that I'd love to take home. They're around 5ft each in big planters, and I'd probably be able to grab 1-3 of them. I wouldn't be able to fit these in any car and would probably be crazy bringing them into the subway.

I have a broken leg, but am still supposed to move my car twice a week. I tried calling 311 and they gave me a number to call about getting a parking permit, but it was after 5PM on Friday when I called so I have to wait for normal business hours. In the meantime, has anyone ever gotten a permit like this before? I'm not sure if something like this even exists. My backup plan is to use crutches to go sit in the car during alternate side hours, but I have a job so that's not a great solution for the next 8 weeks. I don't have a partner and asking a friend to move my car 16 times over the next 2 months feels like way too big of a favor to ask of someone, but I also can't afford an extra $130 / week in tickets. Does anyone have any advice?

I've recently purchased a Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew for my baby, but I'm concerned about using it on buses and subways in the city. I've done my research, but I'd love to hear from others who use large strollers in NYC on a daily basis. I'm looking for practical advice on how to navigate the city with a big stroller.
