How I commute from Palisades Park to Flushing


From Palisades Park to Flushing 
By car  
               Depending on the time of departure,
               I take either one.
               
                I-46E
                George Washington Bridge Lower Level ( Less traffic than the Upper level)
                Interstate 95 N ( Be careful of  big trucks.)
                Whitestone Bridge Exit 
                Linden Pl Exit (One of my favorite building "NY TIMES" is on the right side.)

                Left at the first traffic light
                Left onto 35th Ave ( The 35th Ave becomes more vibrant than before.)
                Right onto Union St ( The Flushing High School is on the left.)
            
               Or

                I-46E
                George Washington Bridge Lower Level
                FDR

                     RFK Bridge 

                     



                Grand Central Parkway Exit ( The road is really bumpy. I always worry about tires.)
                Northern Blvd Exit 
                Right onto Union St               
                It takes 30 to 40 min.
                Cost   :   EZ-pass toll GWB ………........$6.00
      Whitestone or RFK……...........$4.80
      Gas…………………….....…..$4.00

                166T(Express) at Broad Ave.

By Shuttle Bus
                This bus is called a King Sauna Shuttle.
                Take the bus at 6th Ave. (9:45am or 11:50am)
               I have to exchange the high price and discomfort for convenience.
               The bus arrives at the flushing commons(municipal parking) just across from my work place.
               37-17 Union St. Flushing , NY 11354
               It takes 30min.
