Driving to an NYC subway station

I would like to visit Manhattan on a weekday by driving to a
subway or commuter rail station outside Manhattan after the
morning rush hour is over, parking, then taking the subway or
train in.  Could someone suggest possible stations that still
would have parking available at 9am?  I don't mind paying for the
parking.  I'll be coming down from Albany.

Parking in Croton is possible, but I'm worried that there would be
no parking available, especially since I've read how the town
feels about becoming a giant commuter parking lot.

The alternative is to park in Manhattan itself.  Are there
preferred parking garages that are easy to get to and near the
subway?

Amtrak is excellent in every respect (speed, timing, parking in
Albany, connection to the subway in NYC), but one (price).  I
don't like paying $160 for two peak time RT tickets.

Thanks for any suggestions.
