The National Railway
Historical Society, Washington D.C. Chapter, Inc. presents a
New York Weekend!
Friday, August 24, 2007 to Sunday, August 26, 2007
We'll take Manhattan,
the Bronx and Staten Island too... as our group travels to New
York City. Our weekend trip starts with a late-morning departure
from Washington Union Station on Friday, August 24, 2007 on Amtrak's
train #20, the Crescent. Enjoy a lunch en route prior to a mid-afternoon
arrival in New York. A short walk takes us to the Hampton Inn
Madison Square Garden, conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan
for our weekend stay.
Starting on Friday afternoon,
there'll be plenty of time enjoy the Big Apple. You'll be able
to take a leisurely free ride to see Lady Liberty from the Staten
Island Ferry, and perhaps visit the exquisite Chinese Scholar's
Garden at the Staten Island Botanical Garden while there.
It's
lovely going through the zoo... on your way around Central Park,
or, perhaps to even the Bronx. It's very fancy, On old Delancey
Street you know. Or at any number of the fine dining establishments
around town. Savor the many fine foods, then stroll up the Great
White Way to a Broadway Show as only you can in New York.
The
subway charms us so, When balmy breezes blow to and fro... Definitely
that is, for the railfan. With an inexpensive all-day pass,
you can explore the extents of the system, and perhaps even ...take
a sail on Jamaica Bay, catch some sun at Brighton Beach, or
savor a hot dog at Coney Island.
Fifth Avenue may beckon,
so shop, shop til you drop. Tiffany's, Bergdorf's, Saks, or, closer
at hand to the Hampton Inn, the biggest of them all, Macy's. And
there's more to explore with the city's museums, museums, museums!
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!
Sleep in on Sunday, August
26, 2007 prior to a late morning departure; we'll head south
with Amtrak's train #91, the Silver Star once again in the
comfortable confines of Dover Harbor. Enjoy a light lunch on the
way back to an afternoon arrival in Washington.
