Umm let's see... Go over the Verrazano, NO, go through the Holland tunnel, NO. Never went any other way but I think where ever you go, your paying a toll.

EDIT: Actually, I remember driving my buddy into the city over the George Washington Bridge via Route 80 and not paying a toll but can't be 100% positive.

No logical way.

Best way is Outer Bridge/Goethals to NY and Holland/Lincoln to NJ.... with EZpass its 4-5 bucks...cheapest way

Only other way is to go way way way way way north and make a big loop. By that time, u spend gobs on gas & time.

If you drive to Albany you can cross the Hudson for free. Them take 9 back to Manhattan and cross the Broolyn Bridge. Just remember to pack lunch.

If you're going into central / south jersey from NYC, NEVER take the verrazanos bridge. That crazy bridge is $8-$9 leaving brooklyn going into Staten Island.

A while back, I remember vaguely skipping tolls entering NYC from upstate NY but I can't remember for the life of me how I did it. Or I could just be dreaming and it really never happened. If you take major highways, I think it's unavoidable to have to pay a toll to enter NYC.

no chance, u gotta pay to get booty.........but u could tell her to come visit u once in a while......and if she don't drive, ask her for toll money once in awhile....if she really like u she'll give it to u



i use to go out wit a queens chick and thats wat i use to do.........ask her for the $$


or u could hook me up wit one of her friends and ill go half on tolls wit ya :D

the cheapest way is to take a tunnel, lincoln or holland and cross into Brooklyn at one of the free crossings, ie Williamsburg or Brooklyn bridge. You could drive into upstate NY from the Palisades, go around the hudson river and come back down I-87 and take the willis ave bridge into the city (free) and take on of the other free bridges into Brooklyn but that would probably cost you more in gas money than in tolls.

best way is to take the Lincoln; holland is too backed up since there's only 2 inbound lanes at all times while lincoln is dynamic 2, 3 or 4. once there, take the west side highway south to Brooklyn bridge... that means all the way down to south street/pace area. cut across the bridge and you're there.

you gotta pay a toll no matter what.
