Somebody can correct the order of my tunnels but from Newark go Jersey Turnpike / I-78east and head towards Holland tunnel, just don't forget to look to your right. if you miss that tunnel keeping heading north for Liberty tunnel. You get to see Hobokan and Jersey City on that route, lol. Safe travels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newark Airport is average....depending where you are driving into (Middle of Manhattan)? Probably around 45 minutes assuming decent traffic. Could also take you 2 hours if traffic is at a standstill for some reason but being from California you should know all about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus its a last minute trip, so no time to plan. Would appreciate some advice on nice hotels and must sees, since when I usually go its only for work.

Yeah I am not afraid of traffic. In the silicon valley, there is plenty to go around. Any nice hotels and restaurants we should hit up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy peasy. I’ll be in the city Monday and Tuesday. Let’s grab a beer. Sounds pretty easy then. Going on a father son trip last minute and just making arrangements now. Need to pick out a nice hotel too. SO any recommendations would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than yep jump on the NJ turnpike good luck there and remember to bring lots of money for tolls. Than either take the Holland or Lincoln tunnel and your in NYC. Than your gonna need 40 or so dollars to park your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's kind of far. Where does one fly into when going there? Maybe I can get a helicopter ride up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
