Hmmm. I'm assuming the Evil Road in PA was the Northeast Extension (i.e. 476) on the Turnpike. I'm not a big fan of that road because it's rather skinny. (Well, north of the turnpike, south it's big and wide and generally not backed up on weekends)
When I go to New England, I generally go 476N (which you can pick up from 95) to the Turnpike (276) Plymouth Meeting entrance, and then go east one exit over to Fort Washington. Take 309 N (which might be under construction) to 202 N (or E) to the town of New Hope where you can cross over the small, short and not high bridge into NJ (toll = $.50 as of last summer.) 202 will eventually dump you into 287 which you can use to skirt around the north of NYC and go over the Tapan Zee bridge.
These roads are generally all nice and scenic. The downside is that there can be traffic on them, and 309 and 202 are half limited access and half not so much with the limited, so you might be cutting off your nose to spite your face if you go this way.
