Here's one way:
from: brooklyn ny to: Summit Rd, Mountainside, NJ 07092 - Google Maps

Here's another way

from:brooklyn ny to:40.708491,-74.311867 to:Summit Rd, Mountainside, NJ 07092 - Google Maps

Also, do you mean once or every day?
Going through SI entails a big toll, the other way is toll free going west to NJ.

One more 78 / 24 option this way:
from:brooklyn ny to:40.717209,-74.329891 to:Summit Rd, Mountainside, NJ 07092 - Google Maps

Thank you. It never occured to me to use google maps. I tend to use yahoo! and it doesn't give me directions using the 78. Thanks again!

You're from out west, aren't you? My Californian sister-in-law refers to highways as you do.

No one in the East refers to highways as "the number" as in "the 78." It's just 78 or I-78. (Don't pronounce the dash either!)

However, the tunnel, the bridge, the beltway, etc. are all acceptable.

I am actually a born and raised New Yorker! But I will be a Jerseyite soon. Thanks for the welcome.

The quickest way to get here is by helicopter!
