What’s the Easiest Way to Get from Suffolk County to Times Square on New Year’s Eve?
The easiest (and safest) way to get from Suffolk County to Times Square on New Year’s Eve is with a private chauffeur service.
North Country Limousine offers fixed-rate private car services to make your New Year’s Eve seamless. Avoid overpriced taxis, crowded trains, and unreliable rideshares by choosing a holiday transportation service that makes you the priority.
What’s the Travel Distance from Suffolk County to Times Square?
It’s about 60 Miles from Suffolk County to Times Square when taking the Long Island Expressway and the Queens Midtown Tunnel into Manhattan. This trip would be a little shorter if you’re more on the West End of Suffolk, or significantly longer if you’re on the East End or North Fork.
While the direct route is straightforward, New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest times of year. One significant advantage of choosing a chauffeur service is having the expertise of a full logistics team behind your trip. We will plan the route to optimize the distance and travel time based on the time of day you want to leave and arrive. We monitor live traffic data, road closures, and other holiday season factors that could affect your ride.
Are Tolls Included if I Book a Private Car Service from Suffolk County to NYC?
Yes, tolls and base gratuity are included in a New Year’s Eve transportation package between Long Island and NYC. Your rate will be fixed when you confirm the booking. No surprises mean you can simply enjoy a luxury ride and arrive relaxed and ready to enjoy the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Just Drive Myself Into New York City?
We don’t recommend taking your own vehicle from Suffolk County into New York City on New Year’s Eve. Delays are likely, and finding a parking space can waste a lot of time. Parking rates are often horrendous, and you might need to park a significant distance from the action. If you plan to visit a bar, club, or restaurant and enjoy a drink, then driving is out of the question.
A private car service is more convenient, safer, and likely cheaper when you compare it to inflated taxi meter rates and rideshare surge pricing.
Are the Roads and Parking Lots Around Times Square Closed on New Year’s Eve?
Yes, the roads around Times Square and some parking garages will be closed for the New Year’s Eve celebrations. You can see up-to-date information from the Mayor’s Office here. In addition to road closures, there are significant detours to manage traffic on December 31st and January 1st (here are the details from 2024, and we expect similar this year). Rather than figure out the best alternative routes, you can let a professional chauffeur take care of the details.
