287 is best but you would have to hit tapansee bridge

 

287 to hook up to the Parkway is great if you're coming from Clinton but if he's coming from JFK he's sure to be faster taking Outerbridge to the other end of 287. 

 

Sunday morning on the Parkway shouldn't be bad now.  Next month with the kids out of school daytrippers will make it down congested.  Saturdays will always be the worst as you have daytrippers and weekly summer rentals coming down at the same time.

"Down to the shore" 

 

Bennys......

The locals call them WEBS  week end bastard's   except the store owner's...

You can call them bennies, webs, or whatever.  I don't care as long as they behave.  They bring a lot of dollars to leave in shore communities.

Where did the term Benny come from?

 

 

Who is John Galt?

I am so excited I figured out how to change my signature.

The term BENNY originated from the letters of the train stations on the Jersey Shore line where annual toursit come down to the shore and mess up everything between Memorial day and Labor day.

I've heard this but somehow it must have been someone with dyslexia as there is no train that ever took that route.

 

Another I've heard is it came from the days before credit cards were in common use (late 60s early 70s) and tourists would carry $100 bills ("Benjamins" in later slang). It was a PITA to break a $100 for merchants when you could fill the tank of your Buick dozen times at 35 cents a gallon for a $100.

Thanks to all on the advise. From JFK, we took the belt, the across Staten Island to the Outerbridge, and down the Parkway from there.

Traffic was moving at a good clip all the way down. No issues.

 

On the way back, we took mostly back roads. Through Millville (stopping at Flippers for Custard), through Hammonton, and working our way to 206, then up to Sommerville.

Then the highway to Morristown.

Double edge sword. They bring $$, but they also dump their trash (I swear every time I see a McDonalds bag go flying out a car window it has PA plates), crowd us off of our beaches, buy up all the homes on the islands without living there, clog up the roads, drive like idiots, and generally act like they own the place. I could do without them as my line of work has nothing to do with tourism.
