Where's the best place to cut off to 84?
I was looking at nj turnpike to 287-87-84?
Any better ideas? The one good thing about the nj turnpike is it's long and flat and as long as traffic is good you can make good time.
We are heading back up on the weekend so no rush hour to deal with..
I did the 84-87-287 to NJ Turnpike on July 5th when heading to Ocean City MD. This is an easy route. You could also do the NJ Turnpike to 287 and instead of taking 87 north, continue on 287 over the Tappan Zee straight to 95 just south of Greenwich.
On my trip back from Ocean City to Gardiner NY, I took the Garden State north to 87 instead of 287. Should have taken 287. On a Saturday there was tons of traffic on the GSP, crazy drivers, narrow lanes and low bridges. If you take the GSP you HAVE to stay in the middle lanes or you will lose your A/C to a bridge.
