I might be able to help with family northeast of Philly, but that would mean riding right through or around Philly.
I might suggest taking a minimal tent and sleeping bag, so you're not absolutely forced to make it to a motel to have a place to crash. (But that is a good few extra pounds to drag around.)
Google Maps was comically bad at planning Gaithersburg -> Huntington, but one bit that it found actually sounds like a really good idea, especially for you: take the commuter ferry from Port Monmouth or Atlantic Highlands or Sandy Hook, NJ to Manhattan. Approaching NYC by land from the southwest through NJ wouldn't be great.
Bicycle thoughts tagged on your other post, whenever you get around to it (short form: I have bikes/frames you may be interested in, if you get stuck on getting a new bike-- you've ridden one of them already).
