The cops can't assume they know who is driving without getting a video of the face of the driver I'm pretty sure. Even with plate numbers they can't actually issue a citation to the owner of the vehicle unless they can prove that it was the person behind the wheel. If this many people are involved, I'm sure they also know this information which is why they refused to be pulled over.

Probably not what you're going to want to hear but they are really not that hard to make, especially if you make in bulk.

You could also engage a private chef to make hundreds of them for you using a recipe you specify.

Another option is to take the train from Hartford to New Haven and then switch to metro north. The train to New Haven from Hartford should be less than $10 round trip (it’s $7 from Berlin). As long as the times of those trains work for you, it’s easier than driving and parking and having to drive home an hour after you are tired from a day walking around the city. Also, you can probably take the bus or Uber from your house so you don’t have to worry about paying for parking.

If you don’t mind driving a little, parking at Berlin station is like $2 for the day.

From your area take 84 and go to Purdys or Goldens Bridge on the Harlem line on MetroNorth (near danbury) should be around $25 round trip and free parking. Don’t drive down to New Haven, parking is very expensive and the train costs more down there and it’s out of the way for your location.

Once you get to Grand Central you just take the subway (4/5/6 train) to 14th street/Union Square.

the wife and I did a bus trip to NYC yesterday. Left from W. Hartford. We do it all the time. Gives us opportunity to visit relatives in Manhattan instead of doing the bus trip plan if we decide to deviate from it. Very cost effective.

This is the answer. A bus will be marginally slower than car or train but far cheaper when you factor in gas/tolls/parking/fare, etc.

I think generally they drop off at Penn Station but that's an easy walk to Union Square.
