Anyway, I don't remember the details, but as we approached TEB, my pilot

direction, he said, go up the Hudson, and make a left at the Lincoln
Tunnel.

A left? You must have been coming up from the south at that point (given
that Albany is north of NYC) ???

You mentioned you are fascinated with ATC "chatter." In the event that you
are unaware, there is a website that allows you to listen to live ATC
communications on your PC. The ATC communications range from small
airports to the biggest, from across the US and around the world:
