No offense to any current (or former) residents of NY City, but I hate that route. I usually take the Merritt Parkway, then down 287. I don't usually (heck not in a long time) go as far south as your traveling. Last time I made the trip to Norther Jersey, the GPS in the SAAB didn't calculate the drive over the Tappan Zee bridge. Insisted on the GW bridge. Me, being on auto-pilot also missed the turn. Guess that's what happens when you wait for that little voice to say "turn right in 2 miles".
I guess "best" route is (and not in any order), plane, train, don't go there or the long out back route via I81 (my in-laws favorite way). Have fun and no matter what, if your in a Saab, the trip will be exponentially more fun.
Oh, as others have stated, avoid the Merritt Parkway during rush hour (like avoiding putting Autolite spark plugs in a Saab) otherwise you will be parked.
