Zacster,

The fact that e OP is looking to take mass transit into Manhattan leads me to believe it was not his intent to bicycle all the way to Uniondale so I am assuming there is a reason he is going to Summit, NJ. That's why I am recommending he look at Google Maps which shows streets, bicycle routes and street view to give him a better idea of what these streets look like to put the ball back into his court. If he is a troll, he won't invest his own time in the research, if not then the only additional information he would need is if anyone has a preffered route from the Brooklyn Bridge to Uniondale.
