What’s the best driving route from Boston to NYC?

I live in Boston, but I need to travel to NYC for work. What’s the best driving route between these two cities? Should I plan to stop along the way?

The best driving route from
Boston
to NYC is via I-90 West. Take I-90 out of Boston, then take I-84 toward Connecticut. Once you reach Connecticut, you’ll start seeing signs for New York City that you can follow.
To get there the fastest, take CT-15 South until you reach I-95 South. This interstate can take you to
New York City
proper, at which point you can decide where to enter the city based on which borough you need to visit.
It will help to use a GPS app, especially when entering the city for the first time. Doing so will give you adaptable spoken directions, so you won’t need to look down at written instructions or your phone while you’re driving. Doing so is called distracted driving and can easily lead to an accident—particularly in heavy traffic.
You should also update your insurance policy before you leave, just in case you do run into some trouble. Check out the
