Just checked, and the drive is over the non negotiable 4 hr restriction that was given to me.

Thinking about Lancaster, PA or ....

Baltimore is under 4 hrs unless you are counting the inevitable stops with aforementioned kids

Baltimore is around 4 hrs, Washington DC is 45 minutes further .

[yitzgar]

I'm not sure if you are agreeing with me or not, but without traffic, Baltimore is 3-3 1/2 hours depending on speed. If you are counting traffic, then it could be 5, and DC would be an extra 1-2 hours

[yitzgar]

Also depends where in NYC. I was assuming Brooklyn.

Baltimore to D.C. most congested roads in the country as well.

Brooklyn to DC took me under 4 hours including 3 bathroom/gas stops. On the way back I hit terrible traffic & it took over 6 hours

It's all about the time of day, if you time your drive right it will be a breeze, time it wrong and it will the be the worst drive of your life.

Hard to avoid traffic in both NY and Baltimore/D.C., unless you leave at 8 PM  ( theoretically 10 AM also) or later since the drive is 4 hours so either way you'll end up hitting traffic somewhere.

And time of year. Summer Sundays are the worst

especially from NJ to NY

especially from NJ to NY

Especially from Baltimore to New York. I 95 and Delaware and njtpk crawl the entire way. As you said, so does Staten island, and the verazzano, and the belt/bqe.
