One of the things we are learning about living east of New York City, but still in the shadow of the city, is dealing with the crowds. My line to the Ts is, "If even just 1% of the population has the same idea as we do, that means 80,000 are bound to be going where we want to be."
We have learned through trial and error that
You need to be at the movie theater at least 60 minutes before show time or earlier if it is a prime time or first weekend.
You cannot travel to, through nor around New York City and make "good time" between the hours of 7 AM – 10 AM and 3 PM – 8 PM, including weekends. (Even outside those times is questionable.) It takes 1 hour to get from one side of New York to the other traveling east to west or return on a very very good day.
Parking in Manhattan is an oxymoron.
The New Jersey Turnpike is either a shoot or a ladder. When it is moving, you better be ready to do 80 MPH. When it is clogged, you better have packed at least 1 extra meal.
The mass-media and reports are correct, New York City drivers are rude, loud and obnoxious. (I fit right in, hahaha.)
If you think Waukesha County is the only place where 10 MPH under the speed limit is the norm in the far left lane, remember that the country was mostly settled from East to West. They had to come from somewhere and ALL their relatives are still out here, every last slow poke Uncle, Aunt and cousin.
