Plus it's much better road. 95 in CT and NY is a freaking disaster.
The Pike-84-684 (if going to NJ then Tappan Zee) is the only way I will drive to NY or anywhere farther south. 95 thru the Bronx is hell. Its the worst stretch of interstate I've seen in my life... well 295 thru DC is pretty bad but not because of traffic, but because of 8 foot wide lanes, a maze of jersey barriers and no shoulder.
