Easiest way to make the move to NYC while on assignment

[wanderlustRN24]

Hi travelers! I'm interested in taking a travel assignment to NYC (from Florida). For those of you who have taken an assignment there, I am wondering:

1. What did you do with your car while you were on assignment?, and

2. How did you transport all of your belongings there without a car (I want to avoid shipping items as much as possible since it's expensive)?

So far, the only thing I can come up with is either placing my car in a storage unit for 3 months or leaving it at my parent's house to crank up and drive every now and then. As far as getting all my things there, I was thinking about taking the Amtrak train from Florida to Penn Station with a few pieces of luggage and doing it that way, and living off very minimal clothes/shoes/etc (this will be difficult since I love fashion, haha).

My fellow, brilliant and resourceful peers, do you know of a better way of making this jump? How did you or anyone you know make the move as painless as possible?

Thanks for any input or tips you can throw out there! :)
