Amtrak

Train travel in the Northeast often means one name: Amtrak. The network covers cities from Boston to Washington, with a station right on the Upper West Side.

At 2124 Broadway, New York, NY 10023, the terminal sits between 72nd and 73rd Streets. It’s a block from the subway and a short walk from Lincoln Center, making it a practical stop for commuters and concert-goers alike. The area hums with cafés and bookshops, though the station itself keeps a low profile behind the neighborhood’s brownstones.

Routes like the Acela, Northeast Regional, and Empire Service link Manhattan to Boston, Philadelphia, and Albany without the hassle of airport security. Overnight options include the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago and the Crescent to New Orleans. Tickets can be booked online, but anyone preferring a quick conversation can call (800) 872-7245 to check schedules or reserve a seat.
