I do not think we ought to let this good man leave our land till we have given him a fine present to take with him, so that he may know we are grateful for all that he has done for us. View in context

Traffic is a bit better on the lower level, but the upper level has better views. Oh, you will have to pay a toll, $15, but it is one-way. It is free to drive into NJ, but you have to pay to leave. If you plan to walk or bike across, the George Washington Bridge is great. You walk up a series of ramps on the Manhattan side, but it is pretty much level on the NJ side. The walkway/bikeway is on the southern side of the bridge, so there are some great views of Manhattan, the Hudson River, and New Jersey.
