One hour longer but bypasses the metro stress
And is more scenic
We do this route every spring to head to Maine/NH. I would suggest trying to stay in middle lane going through Connecticut, due to constant merging (non-yielding regardless of signs) traffic, but it's hard because the lanes keep shifting. Other than CT, this route isn't too bad.
This is what I'd do, too. I avoid 95 in NYC/NJ like the plague. Talk about traffic nightmares. And tolls. No thanks. I'd rather take the long way around. Less stress.
