I am planning on a move to Mt Kisco and would be regularly commuting to Kenilworth NJ for work. Its about 62 miles and google map shows around 1 hr 10 mins drive. Is there anyone who takes this commute? I am little concerned about hitting traffic on the Tappan Zee Bridge and Garden state parkway during peak hours. Could my commute be longer than I am expecting (more than 1 hr 10 min)? Please help me with your advices on traffic.
I will also appreciate if you could let me know of any alternate transport I could possibly take. I did check metro north and NJ transit; there doesn't seem to be any through train to grand central from kenilworth. Thus, as of now I am thinking of just driving myself.

Anything other than driving would be a nightmare. You'd have to train into the city, get from Grand Central by subway to Penn Station then take another train.
While driving would be a heck of a haul, for the most part, you'd be going against traffic. There's be some traffic around the tunnels.
NJ transit uses Penn Station and Metro North uses Grand Central, so you don't have any realistic mass transit options.
I can only comment on the first half of your commute. You will be going against traffic across the Tappan Zee bridge, so it will be fine on most days. There wi be days of accidents or construction making the commute horrible. But on most days, you will have smooth sailing at least until you hit the Garden State Parkway.
Yep, can you commute at non-peak hours? I used to drive from Kisco to NJ regularly and it's not fun. What's estimated as an hour can turn into 3 very quickly.
