WRONG!!!!!!! There is a way.  In fact a couple of ways.  One way is to take
the Southern State to the Belt Parkway to the BQE to the Brooklyn, Manhattan
or Williamsburg Bridge.  Any of them would get you to Manhattan for free.
You can also get to Manhattan via the Queensborough Bridge for free but I
forget the specific instructions to get there from Long Island.  Once you are
in Manhattan both tunnels and the bridge are free to New Jersey. Really, who
would pay to go to New Jersey anyway :).  In the other direction the tunnels
 and bridge from New Jersey will cost $4.  The bridges to Brooklyn and Queens
are free in both directions.
