The New Yorker  - Garden Sense

Friday, June 26, 2015 to Sunday, June 28, 2015

Take Manhattan by storm for a two-day, start of summer getaway aboard Dover Harbor, a classic 1930’s Pullman sleeper-lounge railroad car. Enjoy the comfortable, 

elegant surroundings and attentive service of our stewards, as if you were traveling first class in the golden age of passenger trains.  And, on this special weekend adventure, you will be traveling with the hosts of WMAL Radio's Garden Sense program. 

     
After a Friday afternoon departure from Washington Union Station sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery, and make new friends as our Amtrak train races along Amtrak’s high-speed Northeast Corridor to a mid-evening arrival in the Big Apple. Stay overnight in a hotel of your choosing (not included). On this rail only trip, make your own arrangements to explore all that Manhattan has to offer: see Broadway shows; shop at Macy’s, Saks, or Bloomingdales; sightsee at the Statue of Liberty, the heights of the Empire State Bldg. (photo left), or luminous Times Square; visit the several fabulous New York area Botanical Gardens, and enjoy the “City that Never Sleeps.”

     Our return trip departs southward at mid-afternoon on Sunday. Reminisce about your weekend adventures as our train travels across the meadows of New Jersey, rolls through Philadelphia, and sails across the Susquehanna River to Baltimore and an early evening arrival back in Washington, DC.

      A light supper will be served on the northbound trip and hors d’oeuvre and cocktails will be
served en route southbound.
