Really enjoyed this trip which took about 4.5 hours. The trains were very comfortable and the service was terrific. It was fantastic watching the towns and countryside rolling by as we travelled through Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. I usually struggle to stay awake on trains but this time I had no problem. Finally as we approached NYC we could see the Manhattan skyline in the distance and then suddenly the train plunged underground under the East river and our trip ended in Penn Station. From there we walked a block to catch our subway to the Salisbury Hotel.
This hotel was a pleasant surprise for me (Mark had stayed here before). The room is more like an apartment with a large lounge room, a kitchenette, and a large bedroom with two double beds. The location is great too. We are right on the edge of Central Park, and Carnegie Hall is across the road from us. After we unpacked we did a bit of exploring and ended up having dinner at the Bengal Tiger a nearby Indian Restaurant. The food was terrific, and now we are back at the hotel finishing our unpacking and getting organised for our Easter in New York.
