Crunch some numbers: should I sell my car?

Lol. Do you struggle to decide on what you're having for breakfast each morning?

Are you likely to need a car for more than 1 day a month?

An absolute need? No. But it would be super nice.. but is it worth paying $66/month for, I need to decide.

wait a month or two, if you use your car more then one time per month then you should keep it.

Well, what would you still use your car for? Even if I had a car where I live, I'd still walk to the grocery store and pretty much any place in my neighborhood. Driving around in a city blows compared to public transportation.

Well the benefits in theory are as follows:

-We have a dog. We can take weekend trips with the dog in my car vs public transportation + expensive dog sitter

-We can drive up to Pal Park where there's great Korean food and groceries (vs none around here or expensive in Manhattan + carry it around)

-Hit up any local relaxation areas 1-2 hours away from Manhattan with ease.

As someone made an excellent point, I'll bring the car down here for few months and see how it feels.

Keep the car. The mileage hurts your resale value. It's not worth it to get rid of it.
