Tomorrow I'm driving to Connecticut for Thanksgiving with my family. My Aunt & Uncle live in Prospect. My grandmother will be there, and my parents are traveling up Thursday.
I'm debating on how to go. I can drive through Pennsylvannia, and then head east through New York. Or, I can take 95, jump on the NJ Turnpike, and pierce Connecticut from the south.
I only say that because we don't have turnpikes in Los Angeles.

As someone who actually lives in the area and knows the routes, I'd suggest heading up through NJ. The traffic will be heavier, and you're more likely to hit backups in NYC itself, but overall it's still likely to be faster than traveling all the way around the northern fringes of the city.

I think the last time I went through NYC was in 2000 on my way to Boston. I remember being surprised that I got through the city so quick - IIRC, 95 runs right through it. Yay!

I remember driving through Atlanta last year on my way to Florida. It scared the crap out of me. It was 12:30 in the morning and traffic was still whacked out. It was moving fast, but there were four lanes full of crazies. At 12:30 am.

I think that in order to avoid crazy traffic you gotta get into the wee hours of the morning; 3:00 am in Montreal is peaceful.
