Amtrak: Take the Train!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': TO
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: If it's at all practical for your to take the train to New York rather than flying or driving, I highly recommend it. Compared to flying, train travel is very relaxing: no security checks, no long lines, no cancellations, no baggage checks. I love it. For us it's also cheaper than flying as well. As an added bonus when you take the train to New York you arrive right in the heart of the city at Penn Station, whereas New York's airports are located well outside of the city. If you're traveling to New York from the Eastern part of the U.S., look into taking the train.

    Taxis: Take a Cab
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Other
    Getting TO/AROUND: If you are traveling in a group of more than two people and don't plan on going very far, it may be cheaper and more convenient to take a taxi as opposed to the subway. Subway fare in New York is more than $2 per person per one-way ride, so you'll have to do the math. Taxis in New York are plentiful and easy to hire. Their fares are also pretty reasonable in spite of what many people might think. Taxis in the city are also strictly regulated as far as the fares they are allowed to charge and driver conduct.

     Being a Yankee fan isnt so much being "brave" as it is wanting to win a pennant(26 so far) more than once every 100 years;-)

     Hi Emilie, we are probably heading out to NYC in November and good to know that the Rockettes show is worthwhile; can't wait to see Santa arrive in his sleigh :o)

     He Emilie-Noelle. It's always fun to browse over you pages. NY is definately one of my "wish-list" destinations. After reading your tips and looking at the great pictures, this feeling has became even stronger. Thanx for sharing!
