You may want to avoid the Holland Tunnel this evening as some stinky motorcyclists head from Jersey to Little Italy. Well, the 2,000 riders in Gooch’s Garlic Run won’t be stinky on their way into eat Italian, but traffic may. The tunnel will remain open, says the Port Authority, but the eastbound north-side (read left-side) of 12th Street in Jersey City will be closed from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. or so. The left lanes of the Jersey-side toll plaza and the left side of the exit in New York will be for the cyclists only. To make your evening commute sweeter, take the Lincoln Tunnel. After all, the Garlic Run’s for a good cause—last year it raised about $57,000 for children in need.
