I made it from West Hartford to Queens last Friday in two hours flat, zero traffic on the Merritt. I'm serious. I couldn't believe it either.

Edit - I forgot to mention that I left at 3 pm but all the rush hour traffic seemed to be heading in the opposite direction

I used to live in WH and my mother lived in Little Neck, Queens (good old North Shore Towers). I’ve done the trip in under two hours, but I had to leave Queens by 5 am.

I must be. The only hiccup I encountered was that the southbound exit from 84 to 8 is still closed so I had to go north and loop around, otherwise it was smooth sailing

I’ve done New Haven to Philly in under 3, but yours might be more impressive here.

considering that on more than one occasion it took me 3-ish hours to get to Philly from NYC before, I'd say you win. I once sat on the street leading to the holland tunnel entrance for two hours on a friday afternoon.
