I have always been fond of the Merrit Parkway route... that is,
Mass Pike to I-84 (Sturbridge) to I-91 (Hartford) to Merrit Parkway
(route 15, around Middletown) to I-287 over the tappan zee bridge, 
to garden state parkway to jersey turnpike to 95. Sounds very complicated
but in fact it is somewhat shorter than straight down 95 and the
drive, esp. merrit parkway, is much nicer and less crowded than
95.  The only bad part is really the garden state parkway, even during
peak traffic hours.  There is a bypass which lets you skip most
of Hartford so you don't even have to deal with that.

Of course you could also hop the US Air shuttle for $79... :-)
