A lot of bike lanes in New York do not have six feet of separation from parked cars.

A lane that instructs you to ride in the door zone should be ignored. It's safer to ride in the center of the general purpose lane that's far enough from parked vehicles to avoid the risk of getting doored. Your safety is far more important than someone else's convenience.

From bitter experience I concur: take the lane! It is safer for everyone.
