    Take the 178th street exit right on Broadway take it all the way down to 24th remember it's going to be the first exit off bridge but go straight down to Broadway do not I repeat do not get on the Hudson or West side ave! Anything else free to ask.

    If you don't wanna run bway take 1st or 3rd. Hop on the degan (87) get off on 1st/3rd ave bridge and shoot down. Either will work

    At Broadway and 59th st there is roundabout. Should I continue on Broadway or take 9th ave before roundabout/7th ave after roundabout from 59th st?

    Take the degan to the 3rd Ave bridge exit turn right at the light go over the bridge then bear left the bridges are marked 12"6 I think but you make it easy . This puts you on to the east side at 125th street take 2nd Ave all the way down . If you time it right you can make all the lights . Don't take Broadway it'll take an hour to get downtown . You'll hit a redlight every 3-4 lights . Plus than you'll have to cut across town . This way you're already on the east side .

    Broadway, first exit off the bridge straight down.

    GWB is about 110 dollars cash more or less. USE THE UPPER DECK. DO NOT go on the lower. This is important for two reasons. First is post 9-11 prohibition for security and second is that the first exit on the upper deck is right there at the end.

    Do be prepared for a living bridge movement on that GWB. Sometimes the harmonics set up and it becomes alive. As long it's moving all is well.

    Check google earth maps while you are here planning the trip. NYC is not the place to get lost. Remember your 13.6 is NYC's 12.6 posted plus one actual foot. Depending on color of sign and in season of the year...

    Im not certain but there are hospitals you might be passing, make sure you use the city horn in your steering wheel as those are posted quiet zones. Ive crossed swords between Atlantic and several other north south pathways around them before.

    Stay away from the hudson river if at all possible. You will never be able to do that left when needed all that way down.

    Check google earth tonight before you go up there. Have something pictures in mind where you are going. That will help a great deal.
