I have relatives in Long Island and family in Providence and Boston. If you live closer to Long Island than mid-city Manhattan. I would go with the previously sugguested route, it will be shorter since you will cut the time in Conn. in half, which is a good thing since Conn. (IMHO) is a rather boring state.
