Who knows the streets of NYC well?

This is a tad bit of a long story, so bear with me.

I’m going to write a story in the future, and a scene involves these kids breaking into the Metropolitan Museum of Art to get this artifact.
After the break in and steal the artifact, they get on this chase through NYC back to NJ, where they live. However, I specifically want them to go through underneath the George Washington Bridge. I drove through there accidentally coming home from a party, and I realized, “Holy crap, the traffic here is so bad, but the scenery here is great for a car chase!” The convoluted underpasses are awesome for the scene I have in mind.
I’ve been meaning to make the locales as realistic as possible, so I want to know a crazy route for my characters to take that would somehow lead them from the MET across the George Washington Bridge and into NJ again.
