    I would recomend going up 95, cross over George Washington bridge, take 295 over Throgs Neck bridge to 495 east (LIE).

    I like these directions .......... looks fairly simple. I know it will be slow (and expensive).

    440 to 278 to 495 is a good way i've been that way a few times or just run 95 to 278 direct over goathals bridge to 495 the gw and croos bronx going east have been a mess lately so i would avoid going up to 295 good luck.

    Also look at crossing Goethals, running across Staten Island, and then crossing the Verrazano. Depending on where on Long Island you gotta be, this might, and I emphasize might be a little quicker. But if I were you, I get advice from someone who runs NYC and the Island more frequently than I ever did.

    The BQE is absolutely horrible. I have ALWAYS taken the GW bridge and the cross bronx and down the throg's neck bridge to the LIE.
