A freind of mine wants to head to NYC on Friday after work. Question is, for those who have done the drive, when should he leave? I'm betting it's a traffic nightmare at 5pm, but he can't leave earlier.

 

Meh no one has any tips??

 

Here's a tip: Don't leave at 5:00pm.

If I have to go up to NYC on a Friday, I usually wait until 7 or 8 to head out. Traffic is unbearable before then.

Better to leave at 8:00pm and get there a little after midnight than leave at 5:00pm and get there a little after midnight.

 

Take the train or fly... Best tip. Traffic at that time to NYC is a killer. U could drive to nj and goto the carpark in Edison and take the train in... Real cheap and 45 mins from Penn station in manhattan.

 

And here I was thinking we have another midnight run on our hands.... Epic fail Mike!!

 

Bah sorry berk!!! Maybe another time, this weekend it's castaway critters!!
