What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy local drive rather than a high-speed interstate cruise. You will navigate using Patchogue-Mount Sinai Road, North Ocean Avenue, and Express Drive North to reach your destination. Because the highway share is 0%, you won’t find any long, uninterrupted stretches of road; in fact, the longest stretch on any single road is 0 miles on Patchogue-Mount Sinai Road. This results in a stop-and-go experience that requires your full attention behind the wheel. Prepare for a steady, localized pace that changes frequently as you transition between these specific thoroughfares.
75% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
25 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.

About the Cities
Starting in Coram, NY
Full guide →Arriving in Brooklyn, NY
Full guide →Founded 1634
Brooklyn, the "Borough of Homes and Churches," is one of the five boroughs of New York City. It used to be a separate city, and still feels much like one. It has about 2.5 million inhabitants. If separated from the rest of New York City, Brooklyn would be the 4th most populous American city. Brooklyn is on the westernmost point of Long Island and shares a land boundary with Queens, which partially encircles Brooklyn to the north, east and south; Manhattan lies across the East River to the west and north of Brooklyn, and Staten Island is across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the southwest. Brooklyn is enjoying a period of growth and affluence not seen since before World War II. The Brooklyn Academy of Music boasts world-class theater performances, and the nearby Barclays Center is the home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets.
