Well, you could cross the Hudson via a tunnel... however the Port Authority's
tunnels charge the same tolls as its bridges, and no doubt the significant
word in your question is "toll" not "bridge".

Yes, it is theoretically possible to get from Long Island to New Jersey without
paying a toll. You could cross from L.I. to Manhattan on the 59th Street 
Bridge, then cross to the Bronx on any of several toll-free bridges. You 
would then need to head north quite a ways... eventually, you'd get far enough
upstate that you'd find a toll free bridge across the Hudson... from which 
you'd make a long drive back south to NJ, avoiding toll roads. Between the 
cost of fuel, and the serious waste of your time (no matter what value you 
put on it), you'd be better off just paying the tolls.
