Need brutally honest travel recs for a LI Labor Day Wedding

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I’ll be attending a wedding in the Huntington/Melville area and need your help to try to avoid traffic (ikik). </p> <ol> <li>We’re coming from the New England area so I was thinking of taking a ferry. </li> </ol> <p>Seems like New London to Orient Point avoids NYC traffic but has a longer drive to our destination. We can take a car with us so that’s ok. Main goal is to avoid traffic. </p> <ol> <li><p>Do you think this is the best route or do you have other ferry recs? </p></li> <li><p>How bad is traffic on Sunday? Could we just drive home instead of paying for the ferry again? </p></li> </ol> <p>TIA! </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/ccf2023"> /u/ccf2023 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/longisland/comments/1szjq5a/need_brutally_honest_travel_recs_for_a_li_labor/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/longisland/comments/1szjq5a/need_brutally_honest_travel_recs_for_a_li_labor/">[comments]</a></span>
