Anything I should know about getting there from CT that my GPS won’t cover?

Going to the Jimmy Buffet concert?

Smashing Pumpkins.

None of my Hawaiian shirts are clean anyways.

I went to a concert there about 10 years ago. I remember it being a really nice venue, but they also didn't allow alcohol sales in the arena so we had to get all of our fun in while tailgating. The people watching (It was a Styx/REO Speedwagon/Kansas concert) was incredible. A hippy dude bummed a beer off of me and pulled out a ziploc bag full of different colored pills and offered me one as payment. I refused, which is good because who the hell knows if I'd still be here if I took him up on that. Dude was whacked out of his mind.

take the extra 20 minute drive to Robert Moses and go to the beach there. Field 3 is a gem.

Thanks for sharing but the question was about GPS tips.

remember what lot you park in and how to get back to it.

I assume you're taking the Throgg's Neck Bridge. Your GPS will probably direct you to I-495E (LI Expressway). Recommend you go one exit further and take Grand Central Parkway/Northern State Parkway East instead (the name changes at the NYC line - you're right near the line & I don't remember which name is on the exit sign). From Northern State the 2 main routes to JB are the Meadowbrook Parkway and the Wantagh Parkway. I haven't been there in years (except by boat) but the Wantagh Parkway (further East) used to be the preferred route. Takes you right to the JB water tower which more or less the central JB location.

Be prepared to be on the road both there and back for hours!
