Driving into New York City *UPDATE*

[PowerMacG5]

Okay, tomorrow I am driving into my fathers warehouse for the first time by my self D), and I want to verify my directions. I would wake my father to ask him, but he's dead sleeping and wakes up at 3:30 AM. These are the directions that Mappoint and mapquest spit out:

Take Sunrise Highway to the Belt Parkway. Take the Belt Parkwat to exit 17W. Now take N Conduit Avenue (N Conduit Blvd) to Atlantic Avenue. Now make a left onto Nevin's Street. Once here I know exactly where I am. When my father drive's in, he doesnt take the Conduit to Atlantic. He sticks strictly to the highway. Does anyone know which way he might be going? He definitely takes the Belt Parkway for a while, and the exit he gets off on another highway is Tillary Street (I think, it may be a different exit), and goes to Flatbush and makes a left onto Nevin's. I know we go over the Kosciusko Bridge.

EDIT: I think the second highway is the BQE. I'm 99% sure the exit is Tillary Street, and then make a left onto Flatbush, and take that to Nevins. Does anyone know if this will be easier/faster than taking the Conduit to Atlantic? Thanks for the help.


*UPDATE* I am here and successfully made it. I ended up taking Sunrise Highway to the Belt Parkway to the Van Wyck, to the LIE to the BQE, and got off on Tillary Street. Thanks for all the help.

That is going to be one long ass ride on Atlantic Ave.
You may want to stay on the Belt to the BQE/Gowanus and get off at Exit #27.
It's a much longer ride in miles, but it should be shorter in time and stress.

Or evn go up to the LIE and take the BQE from there.

Depending on the time of day, that Atlantic Ave haul could be VERY long. Where exactly is the warehouse? That will be important for the BQE exit (what they said above is good idea).

I know it's a long ass ride on Atlantic, that's why I am trying to remember my dad's route. I think I will stick to the Belt and take the BQE to either 27 for Atllantic, or 29B for Tillary Street. I'm from Oceanside, so for me it's easier to take the Belt to the BQE rather than the LIE to the BQE. To get to the LIE, I think I need to take the Meadowbrook to the Northern to get to the LIE, so it's still a bitch of a ride.

I'm leaving my house around 7-7:30 AM tomorrow (Saturday). The Warehouse is on Baltic Street (off Nevin's Street). The exit my dad always takes is 29 to Tillary Street, and then make's the left onto Flatbush and takes that to Nevin's. Once I am on Flatbush, I actually know where I am.

Mapquest tells me to take the Conduit to Atlantic, which I have the feeling will be really slow.

wtf is conduit ave?
You could take Belt Pkwy to the BQE as others have suggested and that would probably be better.... or what would be even faster, but more easy to get lost:

Belt Pkwy to Ocean Ave (not 100% if there is an exit right there I think there is). Ocean Ave to Flatbush Ave. Flatbush Ave to Nevins St.

North Conduit Avenue is a Street . Which exit would you take for the BQE on the Belt Parkway? Do I just take the Belt Parkway to the end where it looks like it merges into 278 (BQE)? Ocean isn't a bad idea, but I want to avoid street's so I can try to avoid traffic.

EDIT: Also, if I go Belt to BQE, are there any tolls?

If you are going to do that, you might just as well exit the Belt at Flatbush Ave. (Kings Plaza) which comes before Ocean Ave.

North Conduit is basically the service road for the Belt in the general area of JFK.
