If you're driving, have your friend in the passenger seat check you in on Foursquare for you.

Make sure you like looking at the car in front of you - no changing lanes allowed inside the tunnel .

If you're taking a cab to #LIC, make sure you tell the cab driver to stay in the right most lane or you'll get lost in Queens.

Super narrow and a little scary but if you can't drive here then good luck navigating the rest of the city , n00b.

Matthew Caldecutt

I try to catch a cab as close to it as I can to avoid having to wait too long in traffic to get through. Head out of Manhattan 9 PM or late and you'll zip through

Use WAZE, it brought me in to the left lane, beat Friday night traffic .

Welcome to the Big Apple! Consider adding Harlem on your list of places to visit while you're here. You'll be glad you did!

Put your phone down, lights on, and pay attention. It's the only way you'll make it to the other end of the tunnel in one piece.

Start in one borough, end up in another. #Magic.

Roll up your windows to prevent the tunnel smell and auto exhaust from scaring the babies.

If ur having a hard time staying in lane in this narrow tunnel , aim for the cones instead of the wall. Cones are made of plastic & won't damage ur car

Jeremy Katz

Make sure to visit the gift shop !

Douglass Bryant

9:00 traffic heading into queens is outrageous at this time be patient..

a tunnel . not to be confused with a bridge .

Kerone Knowles

If you are not use to driving in tunnels then don't take this on. U will either hit the cones or the wall you choose

Lights in this tunnel are horrible! If you've made a wrong turn and wound up taking the tunnel for some weird reason, good luck.
