Train

A patch of cobblestone and a slow-moving East River breeze make this end of the neighborhood feel like a pocket of the city that forgot to hurry. Train happens to sit right here, a coaching center tucked into the mix with no fanfare. Head to 143 Front St, between the bodega and the freight elevator, if you’re hunting for something that isn’t another tourist shuffle. The place keeps it simple: standardized test prep, college essay editing, graduate school advising—three of the usual suspects they’ll walk you through.
