Remember one thing, the people in NY do not know what the word Yield means.

Made the trip up there the first of April what a joke. Spent over $100.00 in tolls.

When I go up to CT from NJ I almost always take the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson. It depends on what time you go, but if you go on I-287 you will have some traffic but it will not be as horrendous as the GWB. One "plus" is that 287 ends just north of Harrison and the only toll on 287 is crossing the TZB headed east (no toll westbound).

**edit

I just noticed on the sidebar it says you are from Greensboro. Have you considered taking I-81 to avoid tolls? That's how I went to Charlotte from northern NJ (well part of my trip that is). If you consider I-81 you take that to I-80 in PA, head east into NJ then that meets up with I-287 halfway across NJ.

My Wife's cousin (Rocky) told me when we were in NYC, "If you want over, pick someone with a nicer car than yours and go, they'll move".

I'm going up 81 to 78 to 287, I saw 95 was near there but I'm actually leaving from Charlotte NC. Ill return back to Greensboro but will go 81 back, its 40 miles longer but quicker with DC traffic.

Thanks

Herb,
The way you are going is the best in the way of time and tolls. The NJ tolls alone will kill you. When coming from 287 you will see signs for NY south and Harrison is only about 7 miles down. Also you can go back the same way or go over the GW depending the time of day. Have to watch the cross Bronx expressway for traffic.
