If you just got off the GWB 1 1/2 hours before the zman when did you leave?
Twenty odd years ago we left BP at 3:00 on a Friday when the Zman was 7:00. We ended up in a super jam on the West Side Highway. At 5:00 we were at the Intrepid so I turned around & headed back home. We arrived home with plenty of time to get our corner grocer to let us in through the back door and fill up a cart with chala Kedem gefilte fish Meal Mart cold cuts etc. etc. It was so close to Shabbos that Mr. S. did not come down to check us out.

Figuring travelling time from the GWB to Monsey at 30 min. You arrived at your host 1 hour before Zman at best. You call that plenty of time?
