Thanks for the info, I was thinking about driving, but this is a no go.

I have no choice in the matter. The BF wants to walk home from Manhattan at night, and I'll be damned if I let him. There's looting going on and the traffic lights out below 39th St. I would much rather take 2 hours to drive there to get him than have him risk anything.

What looting?

There was a very large traffic jam this morning Manhattan-bound on Queens Blvd. Now there is still heavy traffic there.

There were also long lines waiting for the few local Q60 buses on Queens Blvd. going to Manhattan.

It just took me 4 HOURS to get from Crown Heights to 70th and First. FOUR HOURS.

And forget the parking situation in Manhattan right now. Jesus.

Agreed. I'd rather use my limited resources trying to get a ride for someone who needs dialysis or a chemo treatment over someone who is having a pity party over losing two days work because they refuse to walk a few miles to where they can catch a bus. Some people have no idea how good they have it.

There have been reports of looting in the Rockaways.

Long lines at the Q32 bus stop in Jackson Heights, Queens (near the Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street subway station). The buses are so crowded that the buses are not stopping to pick them up.

Heavy delays right now on LIE.

2nd Avenue is jammed up right now.

It took one NBC employee 2 hours to drive from Harlem to Rockefeller Center this morning (Wednesday).
