Staten Island or Brooklyn or even Hoboken is a little far from the city. You might be able to find a nice parking spot there but it would be a hassle when it's time to pick up the car at night and when you're already tired from walking.

Another option is my apartment building in Long Island City. It's one subway stop (3mins train ride, 10mins total) to/from Grand Central. It's a nice/new self-park private parking garage. It's not crowded and costs $10-12 for the whole day or $15 overnight. You park yourself so you can choose your spot. You'll see a lot of BMWs, Porsches and other nice cars here. Also across the street is the Gantry State Park where you can enjoy an awesome view of the Manhattan skyline. Would be a great photo as well.

Let me know if this is a good option for you and I'll pm you the info.
