One of the issues with moving to New York City is the difficulty in parking moving vans or U-Hauls. Although commercial vehicles do have some special privileges like being able to double park, you should check the signs and be aware of alternate sides of the street parking as well as street cleaning. You might be able to schedule your move for a day that works better for the parking restrictions. In some cases, you might have to apply for a parking permit for the moving van a few days ahead of time.
