In New York, parallel parking is part of the road test. You are required to park behind a parked car, but you don't have to parallel park between two parked cars. So the adjudicator points out a car, you pull up alongside, you parallel park behind the indicated car, pull up, make sure you're close enough to the curb by checking your mirrors - and that's that part of the test done.
A few years back, I had to parallel park on the left side of a one-way street in Brooklyn. (This is not part of the test, even though there are a zillion one-way streets in NYC.) Zip, zip, zip, car parked. The guy sitting on his stoop across the street was amazed that a Connecticut driver could actually parallel park on the left.
