In colonial times, the easiest way to travel from New York to Philadelphia was by boat along the waterways. Many travelers opted for the ferry service across the Hudson River to New Jersey and then continued down the Delaware River. This route was more efficient than overland travel, which could be slow and challenging due to rough roads and various obstacles. The journey typically took around 24 hours, depending on weather and tides.

What were the major cities in colonial Pennsylvania?

Lititz, Carlisle, Harrisburg, Lancaster, York - there are quite a few of them and they are still there. Certainly Philadelphia. I take "colonial times" to be prior to the end of the American Revolution. Even Gettysburg, famous for the Civil War period has a house that was built in 1776, late in the colonial period. There were already settlers in Central Pennsylvania by the time the French and Indian War began. As a side note, Carlisle and areas south in the Central PA area were cattle country. For a while Western PA and Western New York were the "Wild West" at least until after the French and Indian War. Many of these towns changed names at least once early in their histories, and if you visit them, evidence of their youth is still there.
