Train from dc to nyc

It's much nicer than worrying about parking in either city or hitting traffic on 95. If you don't need a car in nyc then i'd definitely do it. If you're on a budget, you could do boltbus, greyhound or megabus for cheap.

Taken it quite a few times. Easiest way to get between the cities. Pay more and get the Acela and you have even less stops.

And if you prefer, they have quiet cars where you cannot talk on the train.

Or you looking for something more specfic?

Took it there and back a few years ago with the wife and kids. The train ride was as expected, with no problems. You get to see the not-so-good sides of several cities (I think we went through Hamsterdam in Baltimore).
At Penn Station, there were only steps to get from the train platform (underground) up to the station (no elevator), which would typically be no big deal, except we had two little kids, luggage, and a stroller. Also, the cab line at Penn Station was very long.

done it a million times. its just your normal amtrak train. you make a few stops on that route, but they dont last very long.

Have friend coming down to DC for Thanksgiving. Delta shuttle is cheaper than train even with taxi to/from LGA.

Thanks everyone.

Train is definitely quicker overall than plane, plus im going to a rangers game, so pulling into penns station is a plus.
