Huge open empty parking lots around Northern Jersey?

[newports]

Hey guys I know this is probably a weird question but does anyone know of any huge empty parking lots on sunday's or whenever in or around Northern Jersey?

It's embarrassing but I don't know how to drive stick and well I may get the car soon and my dad agreed to drive to an big open empty lot so he could teach me. He would drive there and drive back till I get the hang of it well enough to start driving on my own.

There's a big parking lot for Bear Mountain that is the entrance to hiking trails which is about 30-40min but most of the ground are made of huge gravel and I guess it's doable but I mean I would really like it if it was smooth asphalt.

I live in an area where it's made up of small towns and there aren't too many open lots, ever. This place is very populated and well yeah I would just feel so much comfortable in an open space.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

I learned in a middle school parking lot. Those would be empty on sundays. If you know of any big corporate offices, those would also have huge empty parking lots on weekends. If you really live in the middle of nowhere, where the closest lot is 40 minutes away, then I would just say screw it and learn on the streets. Probably no one out there anyway lol

I live in northern bergen so its crowded as hell. I mean there's even traffic in my small towns sometime Lol .

Can you imagine car jams in a small suburb.


Thanks for the replies.

Idk what hoon means but I'm assuming do burn outs or something from the way he said it Lol I would love to if I knew how to drive stick.

Haha perfect. Thanks a lot bud.

Maybe one day if you see an FRS driving around in the lot it'll probably be me.

Looks like a huge ass factory or office building, is it usually empty? In the google satellite map image looks pretty damn empty but would be pointless if I went on a busy day.

Palisades mall is about 20 and woodbury about 40-1hr depending on traffic.

Palisades mall's lots are usually full though since they're open 7 days a week.
