Here's the kicker, it goes through one of the worst neighborhoods on Long Island, Wyandanch.
MAPQUEST#2
Maybe... Choice 2 in the morning, Choice 1 at night...
This is my first commuting trip ever so your advice will be GREATLY appreciated!

Here's my recent experience. I've been through some pretty rough areas in St. Louis and never had a problem. However, a big part of my enjoyment of commuting is being relaxed and enjoying the ride. I feel the same way in a potentially dangerous neighborhood as I feel on a busy 4 lane during rush hour - anxious. So, whenever I can avoid either, I do.
