    Can anyone give me a good route to get in here?

    5600 1st Ave
    Brooklyn, NY

    Coming on I-278 from Elizabeth, NJ

    Heading to Farmingdale on Long Island after that, maybe a good way to get there from King Solomon also?

    278 to 38th street exit, make a right, right on 39th should be fine. It’s been a while since I been in that area. Pretty industrial. 39th to 1st make a left. To get to farmingdale, go back to 39th, towards 4th Ave, left on 4th, left on prospect, merge onto Hamilton Ave, after the drawbridge you will see the entrance for 278 east. 278e to 495 e

    My condolences. Watch the idiots in the cars. That place was built for cabovers and 35" trailers.

    Google earth can definelty screw ya. Couple months back I loaded a track machine in the mountains of NC, I couldn’t make the turn to go back the way I needed too, so I pulled up google earth, down the road ahead of me looked to be a gravel dead end I could back into and turn around to go back the other way. Nope I got all screwed up. Bad day lol

    Is their any place remotely safe to park overnight beforehand in the area? Maybe up on 4th Ave? Or am I better off staying in NJ and coming in the early AM.

    They open at 3am supposedly.

    I would lay low in NJ, I have slept on side of a road in all the Boros in industrial areas. Watch your back and keep the doors locked. Whatever you choose.

    Is there any place to park by the port in Newark? Overnight? Or somewhere in Elizabeth? Trying to avoid going all the way back to Vince Lombardi or down to exit 7.
