The beginning of Belt pkwy very late at night, right as u get of Gowanus up until the Verazanno bridge. Nice smooth road, 130+ easy. Dont speed there during the day, the cops there are everywhere.

The connection going from BQE to GCP. Newly paved. Very tight curves just before you enter the GCP. I usually hang out the rear end under the bridge. Not a top speed kind of road, but fun as hell late at night when its empty. Usually hit 70-90.

Also the Hutch River Pkway in the middle of the night, several times hit around 130.

FDR is also fun, but the road sucks.

If you like the twisties, the Taconic at night up in Westchester is fun as all hell. But only at night. But make sure you know the turns there are several uphill/downhill reduce radius turns and some 2 lane twisites going up and down the hills. Going from White Plains up to Carmel. Good nonstop 20 minute romp usually holding from 70-100 the whole trip.
