New Rochelle Rest Area

Steve’s take

New York City is to your left. You can see the skyline. Your kids will ask to go. The answer is no — not today. Today we drive. The rest area here is your last chance to use a bathroom before the George Washington Bridge or the Throgs Neck turns your drive into a hostage negotiation. Use the facilities. Top off the snacks. Say goodbye to New England. You're a mid-Atlantic family now.
