I took more trains than I cared to.

Well it is a crappy train ride. The Acela is better or do I’ve been told. I’ve only driven in Manhattan once. Never again.

I've driven there often. You just have to get used to shooting the gap, when you have them. You assert yourself, others will give way. It's easier with a big old SUV. My wife tends to have a lot of stuff to carry, plus the train station is a good hour drive. We can drive right to the rental or hotel, unload, and park two blocks away. Bring all the stuff you want there and back. Plus stop at a diner on the way. Food on the train is yuck.

Yeah train food is terrible. When I would go to Vt to visit my daughter in college I would run out of the station to a deli across from Madison Square Garden. Fortunately service there was fast.
