I just learned about
this one-week learning program (in July) at Yeshivat Hadar, an egalitarian yeshiva in Manhattan. The classes sound really engaging and meaty (click through for descriptions). Here's what they say is a typical day

However, it's not that bad to drive up to the west side, and then find a spot to park... if you have some flexibility.
But it's an amazing program, and i have multiple friends that can talk to the quality.. (some of whom are from the other end of the spectrum - ortho)
And it's in my neighborhood :)

Take it as given that I would attempt dinner or something with all the folks I know in NYC. :-)

By July I may or may not still be living here, and should ask my wife before offering crash space, but... I for one would be happy to have you.

If you do come, we (ok, I. My wife doesn't know you) would be happy to meet you in the city or have you out here for dinner.

Yeshivat Hadar is super awesomecakes.
Driving in is possibly not too bad if you come in superearly for minyan and miss the worst of the traffic, but finding parking is a bitch and a half, unless you reserve space with a garage which is kind of pricey but maybe worth it for the time and rage you save.
I expect you might find a summer sublet on the UWS or in its Jewy-neighbourhood cousin Washington Heights, a little further north. Or crash space.

This Hadar program is for a week (not their longer programs that I don't have enough vacation time to do), so I wasn't thinking about sublet possibilities. Are there places that do by-the-week rentals for less than what a hotel would cost?
On driving, I was thinking in terms of parking the car somewhere upon arrival and ignoring it until it's time to leave, rather than driving in every day (which sounds super-stressful). I assume that places where my car would be intact at the end exist for a suitable fee. (Now does a non-local find them, if not staying at a hotel?)

I expect there *are* week-long rentals, but I also expect that the Hadar minor deities lesser faculty are used to hooking week-long people up with crash space, spare rooms, etc. I bet if you asked them how people usually manage, they'd be able to give you some Jolly Good Ideas; and they're a nice bunch.
Fraid I don't know so much about where to leave one's car. The airports come to mind, as do the More Genteel Places To Live like Riverdale or parts of Queens.
