I second the AFD routing. It is preferred and ATC does utilize these routes!!
Additionally, check for the first fix on the departure in the "general" direction you are travelling and use that as the first fix to join the airway. Once you are away from the inital NY/BOS centers, then you can ask for direct and, depending on traffic (and weather), you will usually get something further down the road.
I fly out of BOS & PHL every day, same bat time, same bat route, and guess what? It changes every day depending on ?? OK, there is really only two ways each way, but I seem to find them every other day!!
Enjoy the northeast -- it's fun playing in traffic.
