The Schwartzbergs take Manhattan
The Schwartzberg family of Pikesville scored a coup of sorts in their trek to Long Island today: crossing Manhattan in a mere 15 minutes.
Stacey Needle reported the achievement about 6:15 p.m., sortly after she turned the wheel over to her husband, Michael Schwartzberg, in Jersey City after having driven all the way from Pikesville though Pennsylvania and across New Jersey.
As she spoke, the family was about 20-25 miles from their destination in North Hills, Nassau County. But they still faced heavy traffic on the Long Island Expressway.
The Schwartzbergs make the trip to Michael's parents' home every other year. Next Thanksgiving is their year to stay home.
"For me it's actually easier to prepare a meal for all 15 people at my house," Needle said. "I have been looking forward to next year before we even got in the car."
