Yep, I'll be coming from Manhattan.
Bumped the 993 board earlier but no-one has replied yet.

That's probably the best way in - jump off 202 into New Hope, cross the bridge and turn straight onto Union Street.

you want to take NJTP(95) to 287, then we meet somewhere in 287?

i used to go to bucks county from nyc all time for brunch, etc. one suggestion: the stretch of road on 202 before you hit the NJ bridge is usually full of cops. slow down there. also, since 202 has pretty bad suburban crawl and too many lights, i like to go past 202 and continue on 78 and hit 513 south into frenchtown, either cross the bridge into PA or head down 29 along the river in NJ. more scenic too. although i know there's been some closures due to flooding, so pls check it out first before taking me up on this route. btw, i can't make it. good luck!

my pleasure. and i think rt 513 may be Exit 15 on Rt 78. for context, 287 is like exit 29 or something. weekend traffic on 202 can be bad, but early am for you guys may be better. 202 is certainly quicker, but less scenic and more risk of traffic/lights/cops.

From Philly, my intent is to pickup 95N (at Penns Landing area) and take it directly to 29N then follow 29N to Lambertville. Sound right?

Weather forecast is currently 40% chance of showers. What's the policy on rain out?
