Experience great fall weather
in New York City! This holiday weekend getaway starts with an early morning
departure from Washington Union Station on Saturday, October 10th on Amtrak's
train #98, the Silver Meteor. As we get underway
enjoy a morning libation and a Pullman hot breakfast. Relax in the
Dover Harbor&'s comfortable lounge or watch the
scenery going by at 100 miles per hour. Our late morning
arrival at New York's Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan
leaves time for afternoon activities, a short rest at your
favorite hotel, then a full evening of New York nightlife.
With this three-day/two-night trip to the city, there'll be
plenty of time to relax and enjoy the Big Apple. You'll be
able to take a leisurely free ride to see Lady Liberty from
the Staten Island Ferry, perhaps visit the exquisite Chinese
Scholar's Garden at the Staten Island Botanical Garden
while you're there. You may want to take an interpreted tour
around Manhattan on water or on land in an open top bus.
Take time to go to the top of the Empire State Building for
a spectacular view of the city in daylight or after dark.
Have fun visiting the zoo on your way around Central
Park, or, perhaps visit one of New York's renowned
museums. Grab a hot dog from a street corner vendor, or
savor a great meal at any number of the fine dining
establishments. Then, stroll up the Great White Way to
enjoy a Broadway Show. Discount tickets, are available for
most shows at the TKTS Outlet in Times Square the day of
the show.
The subway can be your chariot. With an inexpensive allday
pass, you can explore from Manhattan to the extents of
the system, and perhaps even take a sail across Jamaica Bay,
catch some sun at Brighton Beach, or ride the D, F, N or Q
trains to historic Coney Island.
Fifth Avenue may beckon you to shop, shop 'til you drop.
Tiffany's, Bergdorf's, Saks, FAO Schwartz, or, closer at hand
to Midtown and Penn Station, the biggest Macy's of all.
Then early in the afternoon of Monday, October 12, 2009
we'll head south with Amtrak's train #19, the Crescent, once
again in the comfortable confines of the Dover Harbor.
Enjoy good company, more Pullman style service, and late
afternoon tea, snacks, or an aperitif on the way back to an
early evening arrival in Washington. Learn more about
