How many miles from Brooklyn to Manhattan?
It is approximately 1748 miles between the two cities, and approximately 27 1/2 hours of actual driving time at an average speed of 63.5 mph. (Note: The approximate time given does not account for potential traffic or bad weather conditions nor does it include stops for fuel, food, lodging, or any other reason.) Personally I have driven between Houston and Queens six times. We made the trip rather comfortably in three days in an economy car and with an early start each day.
A few simple tips to save time: 1) Eat breakfast at home, or a hotel, before you begin to avoid an extra stop 2) Take one hour long break from driving at lunch around midday; you'll feel better and more alert for the rest of the day 3) Make additional fuel stops only at major stations with restaurants (they have better bathrooms) and combine fueling with bathroom breaks, snack eating, and souvenir shopping wherever possible 4) Always fuel up before going to sleep so you don't have to take the extra time in the morning, or stop shortly after getting on the road. 5) If you are close to a major city and decide to bed down for the night, pick a hotel on the side of town that is on your way out of it. This will position you against any potential workday commuter traffic in the morning.
