Yes, that is correct.  The Verrazano only has a toll  entering Brooklyn but not entering Staten Island.  Same thing with the GW.  No toll going to New Jersey.
 

Best way is over the GW and then the Throgs Neck from philly are. Its a 2:15 minute ride. i am working on putting few guys in my van and coming up

If you take the Verrazano then you only have 1 toll instead of the GW and the Throgs Neck. FYI, on the the Throgs Neck you pay going both ways.  In terms of time it should be about the same and since you're getting a bunch of guys together cost isn't an issue.  Either way is good, depending on what you're comfortable with and traffic.  On a Saturday it shouldn't make much difference.

Yes that right thanks for bringing it up. Belt Pkw to cross Island up to Northern Blv. I grew up in Bensonhurst so it will be fun going home. Are you going to make it? The list looks like Aaron has not updated and would be nice to know how many guys going.

All good except one minor detail, there are no 7 'express' trains on the weekends, only local, so any 7 train heading into Queens will do.

That's what I thought too, I was about to check when I saw your post (the MTA is such a joke at times).  The 7 local probably is still better then going to Penn station.

Glad you decided to come, Frank.  Is this still your van or have you upgraded since?

 I would hope not. Wouldn't want to get sidetracked by a mystery on the way

That's the longer way to go. Instead of taking the Turnpike to exit 18 to the GW, take exit 10 to the Outerbridge Crossing to the Staten Island Expressway (East) towards the Verazanno (no toll in that direction), to the Belt Parkway East, to The Cross Island Parkway split, then to Northern Blvd. You are taking the hypotenuse of the trip.
