Traveling June 28th

I will be traveling to brooklyn from 7 hours away for a tattoo appointment. it also happens to be pride and my artist informed me there would be lots of parades near and around the shop, which i love but not so much for travel. I’ve been to nyc a few times but with other people driving and making hotel plans, also not on what seems to be such a busy celebratory day. i’m curious if it’s realistic to stay in new jersey and drive into the city without sitting in hours of traffic due to parades and celebrations or if i should bite the bullet and pay for a hotel in the city. i’m so sorry if this seems stupid i’m unfamiliar with public transport and the city. i live in vermont and grew up here so it’s truly a different world. all my love and respect to the city i just need to set some expectation’s for myself :)
