I agree with David, taking the Garden State Parkway to 87 North to 84 East is a
good idea. the Tappan Zee Bridge can get congested around rush hour if that's
when you arrive. Mid-day or later at night the T-Z is usually OK.
In connecticut, thete's a stretch of 84 between Waturbury and Southington
that's only 2 lanes in each direction that sometimes slows down. Traffic aroun
Hartford isn't usually bad, and once past Hartford you should have smooth
sailing after that.
