Then you have to get to NJ....via the Belt, via the Verrazano, via SI Expressway, 440 and then the Outerbridge Crossing. 2 1/2 hours by train may be quicker on a Friday in the summer.
I would agree with analise that trip could take a very long time via car on a friday. I wouldnt dream of sitting in a cab with a quick ticking meter (It's 40 cents/per minute of waiting time in stop or slow traffic.) If your gonna do the car take a car service if not take the airtrain-lirr-new jersey transit combo.
cheers
