What is the best time to drive DC to New York City?

The drive will take about 5 hours and you want to try to miss rush hour in Washington, Baltimore Philadelphia/Delaware, and NJ/NYC.

The best time to leave is around 5am. This will get you to Philadephia around 8am, you have some traffic there, but you can take the turnpike and miss most of it. This will also take you into NYC after rush hour has ended.

Alternately you can leave DC anytime after 7pm and get to NYC at midnight.
