What's the best driving route from NYC to Buffalo?

I’m a huge New York Islanders fan. I don’t often get the chance to see them play in other cities, so I think I’m going to snag some tickets for a game in Buffalo. What’s the best route from NYC to Buffalo?

The Sabres and Islanders isn’t a huge rivalry, but any time these two teams get together, it’s always a dog fight. Taking about 6.5 hours and stretching 380 miles, the drive between NYC and
Buffalo
is easy to do in just a day. Here’s the best driving route from NYC to Buffalo:
