the most direct way is 90 east all the way. exit 15. ummm, it’ll cost you $15.15 in tolls. ---

90 to 81 to 17 to… all depends where you want to end up in nyc ask the howsters and how fassst you want to drive… you can cut through 380 to 81 then to 17 but i never tried it it all depends when you want to get there too… its the weekend… and all bridges and trunnels will be packed any time of day… we arn’t talking 290 traffic we are talking 2-3 hour traffic for 1-2 miles ---

I have done the trip many times and have found just taking the thruway to be the easiest and just as quick as the shorter ways. Also taking the thruway you get the convinience of rest stops every 30 miles or so, which is a big plus when traveling with a group of people with bladder problems. Now when i did the trip i only went to exit 14 but was able to do it in a little over 5 hours with out stopping and travleing cruise set at 75 mph. You could take the thruway all the way to the major degan in the bronx and then hop over to the FDR or the westside highway and make your way to the village from there. Now depending on the time of day this route might, or might not be your best bet traffic wise. If you don’t hit the Tappan Zee Bridge during rush hour you should be in pretty good shape. ---

There are cheaper flights than jetblue out there. Go to travelocity or something. Im looking to fly out there in the next couple of weeks and I was getting stuff in the 180 round trip range. ---

From the southtowns going down past NYIRP to 390 to 86 through Binghamton is not a bad route. Follow the 81 to the 390 and then to the 80. X… ---

i’m down here on LI right now, took me 6 hours or so to get to commack, which is about the center of the island. took the 90-\>390 i think-\>81-\>17. Onlything I didn’t like was the 17 had way to many curves and it just seemed like I was going back and forth. On the way home I think i’m going to try the 87 up to the 90 and over.
