Next time, I might try it higher (ie. in the class B).

Yes, try it, but once you do, you'll be back downstairs where the view is
prettier. To get in talk to the approach controllers - the frequencies are
on the TCA (oops, TAC) chart, which is a must-have.


Normally, I'd start with approach and let them transition me. But, starting
from Linden, I was practically on top of EWR...


Go East. That's where the Hudson starts anyway. Call approach. You might
even get them on the ground (never tried it)


my CFII was somewhat disapproving. He doesn't like the corridor,


To each his own. I love the corridor. Saw a C5A flying down the Hudson at 500
feet. Those must have been happy pilots!
