Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year in the New York metro area. With parades across all five boroughs, packed beaches from the Jersey Shore to the Rockaways, and summer officially kicking off — roads, tunnels, and bridges are going to be jammed. If you're heading into the city from Bergen County, Hoboken, or anywhere in North Jersey, planning your transportation in advance is the difference between a great day and a miserable one.
What's Happening in NYC This Memorial Day
New York City is hosting dozens of events this weekend — from the 107th Staten Island Memorial Day Parade to DanceAfrica at BAM in Brooklyn, open beaches citywide, and parades in Queens, the Bronx, and beyond. If you're taking clients, family, or a group of friends into the city for any of these events, you're going to want a dedicated driver.
Why Driving Yourself Into NYC Is the Worst Option This Weekend
The George Washington Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, and Holland Tunnel are all going to see significantly higher volume than a typical weekend. Parking in Manhattan alone can run $50–$80 on a normal day — during a holiday weekend, expect more. Add in the stress of navigating unfamiliar streets while trying to keep your passengers happy, and it's simply not worth it.
The Case for an Hourly Chauffeur
Booking EHT Limo on an hourly basis for Memorial Day means your driver stays with you for the full day. You go from Bergen County to Brooklyn for the parade, stop for brunch in Manhattan, hit a rooftop, and get home — all without touching a steering wheel or worrying about parking. Your driver handles everything.
Beach Runs and Shore Transfers
Memorial Day also kicks off beach season. Whether you're heading to Sandy Hook, Long Beach, or Jones Beach, our Chevy Suburban and Cadillac Escalade SUVs comfortably fit your whole group plus all the gear. Flat-rate pricing means no surge surprises when demand spikes.
