I always call it the Queensboro. Maybe cause I'm from Queens.

You can also take the last exit before toll (Van Dam), go straight on the side road of the LIE past Van Dam and make a right on the 2nd or 3rd street (whichever is the one going right - they're all one ways) - then follow the traffic , because everyone goes from there to the QB bridge.

(Basically off the exit - straight past Van Dam , make a right onto one way , make left where you cant go any further , go directly onto bridge).

As for coming back , depending if youre on lower or upper level, make a right onto Vandam, go under the LIE overpass, make a left onto the side road that leads onto the LIE.
