Check with Amtrak to see about the possibility of a nighttime train that connects into Toronto. If there is one, it'll go through Buffalo, Syracuse, and Albany/Rensselaer on the way to NYC. Driving time, Toronto-NYC, would be 8 hours. It could take significantly longer that that by rail if you have to change trains.
Best bet for surface travel therefore would probably be by bus. Check with Greyhound.
Your VERY best bet is to scrap the land idea altogether, and just fly down there and back. If you hunt around on the web, you can find some good fares.
To "rulehy" -- By BOAT? Toronto to NYC? Even if there were passenger ferries on the Erie Canal, it would take FAR longer than overnight. And there aren't.
And -- Toronto to NYC is an EASY drive, day or night. A fast 8 hours on the QEW and the NYS Thruway. Nothing to it!
