Depending on where you start the trip in New York City, the state of New Jersey (no city is given in the question) is only just across several bridges or tunnels. Probably less than one hour.
Since they share a border, technically the trip can take only 3 minutes without traffic, which is how long it takes to cross the Lincoln or Holland Tunnels or the George Washington Bridge across the Hudson River.
It is 216 miles from New jersey to New York. So about one hour
