Coney Island & Traffic in Manhattan

So MnD & I visited Coney Island today. Dad wanted to see a beach & this seemed closest to Jersey City & most optimal, with nice beach, boardwalk & all that. It's really nice too. The boardwalk extends into sea and people were fishing and nice view of water all around. Sky & clouds looked beautiful. Weather was lil cold but nice. Must be great in summers!!

However from Jersey City, the best way as per Google Maps is to go through Manhattan. It's 17 miles & should take 31 mins one way. It tool an hour to get there & 2.5 hrs to come back. Yeah!! Whiel returning, we were stuck for 1.5 hrs in Manhattan itself from Brooklyn Bridge to Holland Tunnel. Sucks, huh?? Anyways, that's why I like to avoid driving in/through the city. Driving through city reminds of India a lot too, very unlike US. People honking, cutting, not driving in lane & all that. But anyways, we made it and got another experience... and, that's New York City!!
