I dunno, I'm from North Jersey, and I work in Manhattan, so on my days off (Monday & Tuesday) Ive been trying to escape down the shore (Atlantic City, Belmar, LBI), I leave mid day, and wait until the late evening to return, I don't hit much traffic.
I also go to the shooting range mid Day, theres hardly anyone ever there during the weekday if thats your thing. Plenty of hiking to do too if you're the outdoors type.
