I drove through last Friday at 6:00-ish and it wasn't bad... 2+ hours on the Pike was a different story, though, but that was some big clusterfuck accident and isn't typical. It really depends on the time of day.

I drive down to NYC pretty regularly. I wouldn't recommend 95 all the way. Use the parkways... they're only 2 lanes and 55MPH, but no commercial vehicles are allowed (so no trucks) and the cars tend to motor right along.
