I'm a nervous traveller and am doing this route next month. Your video was amazing for me - it helped to clear up what to expect at the train station / boarding / luggae etc. Thank you for taking the time to make the video & share with us
Wow that was a great video! You two are so cheerful and refreshing. As a Bostonian I hope you enjoyed our lovely city. Thanks for giving such excellent advice about each and every aspect of the trip…and you did it so happily without complaints or criticism! The two of you must be truly happy in your own skin! You’re like little kids and that’s a great way to when traveling! Or living for that matter!
It's really a beautiful view of the shore on this trip, and even the industrial stuff is really neat to see. When I have time I opt to take the train rather than drive or fly between Boston and NYC. The folks attending to the food car are always a laugh and have very positive energy. Best way to travel between the two cities unless you're on a tight schedule.
True! And in my case bring a lot of coins with you. The staff in the cafe car would appreciate it because they can make change for other passengers easier. It pays to bring several denominations of dollar Bill's from 1 to 100 dollars for the trip and for a down payment for holding your room in the hotel.
Hi, Renata, I am Italian and I'm viewing your videos for improving my English. The subtitles in Italian help me a lot. Thank you for sharing with us your trips and congratulations for the editing. Ciao
Muito obrigado! Bravo! Great Video! I have traveled several times from NYC (Penn Station, NYP) to Boston South Station. Great experience. Coming from a country, India, where people mostly take the trains, I recommend that Americans also should travel by train. Like Amtrak advertises--- " See America a the 'SEE' level "! It is so gratifying that now-a-days, Americans have started taking the train. In fact, U.S.A. has the largest "rail" network, but most tracks are unused or used very sparingly. It is great to see AMTRAK making a comeback! One thing: most AMTRAK Stations are right in the City centers...in fact, history has that the cities grew AROUND the TRAIN-STATIONS! Hence one gets to be right in the downtown area(s) when one travels by train! Look forward to having many such informative videos on TRAIN-trips as well!
Dear Rajeeve, On the east coast of America, the late Pennsylvania R.R built their lines to the center of the cities in order to bring passengers into the business area where the hotels and businesses had their headquarters. Where I lived before retiring was Jersey City, N.J which had their terminal where people took the ferries to NYC. From 1890 til 1910 the people used it and it went to the main business Area. For a mile it went above the streets by a 4 track El from near Journal to the Hudson River. From 1910 til 1967 the Pennsylvania R.R became the biggest and due to highways and airlines , it merged with the New York Central Railroad. It no longer exists but there is the Port Authority Trans Hudson subway where passengers from Amtrak change to,the subway trains. From there they go to the financial district of Wall street or take the subway to Midtown Manhattan 1 block away from Penn station. Penn is short for Pennsylvania and the hotel across 7th Avenue is also called the Pennsylvania Hotel. It has been there since 1920 and was built and owned by the same railroad. I should know, I am a New Yorker who grew up there.
Renata: Thanks you so much for this remarkable video that you & Gordon are traveling from New York City to Boston, MA. by the Amtran Train November of 2021!
Years ago, I lived in the suburbs of Philadelphia and took the train from there to Boston to visit with a university friend. I sat on the right and was thrilled to see the ocean as the train travelled part of Connecticut. I'm glad that you both enjoyed your trip. I have since taken Amtrak from my hometown of St. Albans, West Virginia, to visit my mother's sister in Arkansas and I totally enjoyed that trip, too - on that trip, I paid to have a little roomette and this gave me all of my meals and it was such alot of fun to go for a meal and meet other travellers and hear about their journeys. My family didn't think I'd enjoy Amtrak because I live now in the UK and have certainly taken the train in Britain, in Norway, and in the Netherlands, and they felt that Amtrak would be inferior but I think it has a lot of positives - I sure enjoyed my trips. Thanks for your video.
Renata:I am hoping to see more videos from you guys soon this week from Boston,MA. I really love this remarkable video so much in joy today November of 2021!
Renata, I hope you guys have a great times in Boston,MA. this week shooting great videos in the city for me & the World to watch FREE in joy 2021…Happy Thanksgiving this week!
I often take a book to read on a long train journey, rarely gets read as looking out the window at the passing countryside is entertainment on its own.
I live in Boston. I have taken the Amtrak to NY many a time. Its industrial going through MA and then pretty w water, country in RI and CT. Gets industrial again getting close to NY. See the subways. Queens. Great trip.
Hello, I will be in Boston this July and was wondering how practical or smart it is of me if I want to take a day trip to NYC. If need be I will rent a hotel in NYC but if you think I can go visit Times Square and Central Park Statue of Liberty in one day then I'll do a day trip. Please advise.
this train hall at new york train station looks very modern with the glass but at the same time very "classic" with some steel parts as it was built a long time ago. 👍🏻😊 nice cities along this train trip 🤩
I just went to Boston from Spokane, WA and loved the smooth ride, quietness, spacious seats, helpful train people, no tedious rules or TSA. If you’re not in a hurry and want getting there to be part of the journey, you love Amtrak like I do. And it’s actually about the same price as flying. I’m a definite train fan! BTW Boston is awesome.
@@RenataPereiraTV Three days stopping at towns along the way, layover in Chicago and Washington DC, then on to Boston. I’m 73 and have always wanted to see Boston and take a train ride and got them both checked off my bucket list. Next is a balloon ride. 🙂
justo necesitaba este video, estare viajando dentro de un mes a new hampshire y para llegar tengo tengo que pasar a boston. Es mi primera vez yendo y no tenia idea de cómo ir desde NYC hasta boston, Muchas gracias por subir este tipo de video!!!
Que bueno, Lizbeth! Me alegra mucho que el video fue util. Si estás cierta de que vás en tren, si compras el billete al menos 14 días antes pagas muuuuuuucho menos. Buen viaje y buen provecho 😘
I've taken this trip plenty of times. So nice to see you take it too Renata. By the way I like snagging a seat in the dining car. Easier access to food and the plugs. Also ill usually take the right sided seats going northbound to enjoy the views of the Long Island Sound.
@@RenataPereiraTV its a pleasure to watch your videos, I love travel and I hope to visit New York soon. I wish you a Merry Christmas, best regards from Italy !!
@@cesarzorrilla2416 Fully get it. The first time I went to Boston was a work trip 5 years ago, and I got so in love with the city. All this time I kept telling Gordon that Boston is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen 😍
@@RenataPereiraTV Look forward to watching your vlogs in Boston. Both NYC n Boston r two cities that should be my working destiny but it didn't happen. Oh well. 😀
Renata,, apa kabar? Baik ya.. so glad to see you again with the newest video.. Kapan ke Indonesia lagi? Do you know what,, this week WSBK underway in Lombok.. 👌✅
Halo, saya baik-baik saja dan Anda? Terima kasih telah menonton. Ya, kami akan senang untuk kembali ke Indonesia yang indah tetapi menunggu negara Anda terbuka untuk kami. Segera setelah kami melihat itu, kami dapat merencanakan untuk kembali. Sangat keren untuk Lombok...Saya ingin sekali melihat daerah itu.👍😍
Hey Renata and Gordon. You guys did a great job on this video report as well. I thought USA was very expensive but when I see the menu in the train station, it seems a little cheaper than in Belgium. From the looks of it, the trains are much more comfortable than in my country, but more expensive. Is interesting though that there are carriages where you are not allowed to talk loudly. In Belgium we have 1st and 2nd class but in itself it doesn't make much difference.
You can get better prices here too if you buy in advance. But as the cities can be quite far from each other, I guess that's why prices might be higher. And I believe you have a huge advantage in Belgium: more high-speed trains, I think. Here it's still something brand new.
This is an old video, but here are some comments anyway: 1. The Moynihan Train Hall was converted from an old Post Office. Since mail no longer travels by train, and there is far less of it today, the Post Office wasn't really needed so it's a bit of a replacement for the old Pennsylvania station that was razed in the early 1960's. 2. New York, like many US cities, has many homeless people Thus, seating only in cordoned off areas for ticketed passengers only (same at Grand Central Terminal, where long bench seats were removed and the waiting room hidden in the basement.) 3. The NE Regional isn't long distance by US standards, but a cross between a commuter train and long distance train. 4. The rail right of way along the Connecticut coast is very old and winding, so even the Acela goes slowly. Acela is a bit faster mostly because of fewer stops, not higher speed. The good news is that the overhead wires and track are all pretty new or renovated, so the trains no longer suffer from heat related, sagging wire delays (those from NYC to DC do). 5. NYC's surviving iconic train station is Grand Central Terminal, which serves Metro North Railroad's commuter trains north along the Hudson River and east to Connecticut. Trains to Long Island have recently been added, in a massive new underground addition.
@@RenataPereiraTV Из города Сургут Россия в Казахстан,с тремя пересадками ехали,вот и получилось что пять суток ехали.С одной стороны конечно утомительна такая длинная поездка,с другой стороны очень интересно,много городов поселили и посмотрели
5:12 The "dining car" is really called the "Cafe Car" and it extends beyond the actual cafe counter. The next car behind that is the Business Class car. There is no "restaurant car" in the Northeast Regional Amtrak trains.
Thanks a ton. Let me ask you, now that India has opened...what is the situation? We would love to visit India but want to make sure it is the right time.
@@RenataPereiraTV thanks for reply yes true. just yesterday i was know it from newspaper. I'm sure you too much enjoy if you visit India. you are most welcome. thank you.
Hotels are pricey in Boston. To save money, don't stay in town but pick a hotel slightly out of town. You should be able to find cheaper places along an MBTA (subway) route. Maybe near MIT or Harvard on the Red Line.
@@RenataPereiraTV It was a while ago, but the Courtyard by Marriott about a mile from Harvard I don't think had a resort fee. Depending on the time of year, Boston hotels are pricey. If you don't mind taking the train back and forth to downtown (the train ride is fairly short), they're half the price. :)
@@roachtoasties Thanks for the idea! This time we ended up staying downtown for the convenience, as we love when we have the chance to walk everywhere. But for future trips, we'll most likely check other options 🙂👍
There are lots of Portuguese people in south eastern Mass (from the whaling industry). My mother is from Boston and she is 1/2 with her ancestors from the Azores. Be sure to visit the North Church and ol’ Iron Sides.
Thanks for sharing. Gordon has a Portuguese friend in Canada who had relatives in the area....from the Azores. Keep watching, we cover the historical trail 👍😀
Oh.. not to mention William Bradford came over on the Mayflower to Plymouth rock (not much to see there) and started the first Thanksgiving….just saying
Great timing, I will be making this journey next summer so this was really helpful to see. I had heard that you should sit on the right hand side of the train for the best views once out of New York, having sat on the left hand side would you agree or disagree with this?
Hello. Leaving from NYC, left hand side to see the city skyline and then right hand side to see the water as you get thru Conn/RI. We have 4 other NY videos...do check them out. Enjoy your trip next year.
Acela isn’t much faster than the Regional (I’ve used both). The only advantage that Acela has is that the trains are nicer. Acela has reserved seating. The Northeast Regional doesn’t (with the exception of Business Class, which is actually more expensive than a regular Acela ticket). Amtrak dining is overpriced. Buy food at the station and then bring it onboard.
There is a compartment near the door for luggage. Note, you have to carry on yourself or they may have porters to help for a tip...can't quite remember. Enjoy both cities....they are fantastic
I think you are making the right choice for not taking Acela, which usually takes 3.5hours with out of proportion fare. Hope there will be some kind of upgrade to 125mph or 150mph system which should make travel between these two cities in less than 2 hours.
As someone who travels from NYC to Boston often, the train price is not worth it. Yes you need some travel time when you travel by plane, the main chunk of time being from Manhattan to the airport but Boston's airport is like 15 min to the city center.
Yes, it is a little bit faster but not super fast like European or Japanese trains. For us, who can work on a train, we prefer to save a little. There is talk of a faster high speed train to be built in that corridor. Lets see if they can get it off the ground.
Not really sure as we were not scanned and had to take our own luggage on. Here is a link to Amtrak luggage policy...but I am not sure what they really follow as this was my first trip in this corridor.
Gracias Renata por este blog que descubrí hoy 22 octubre 2021; Hice este trayecto en 2008 desde Boston a Ny en unos buses 🚍 que llegaban a la Canal Street y lafayette la verdad eran unos que ya no hacen mas el recorrido por ser poco seguros eran algo así como Fonwua o se pronuncia así ! me encantó el vídeo Gracias y les mirare su contenido.También disfruto muchísimo viajar con mi marido!
Que bueno, muchísimas gracias 😊. También hice unos viajes en bus hace muchos años en otras partes de los EEUU y igual, no me gustó. Por eso hoy prefiero los trenes o los coches 😉. Que tengas una excelente semana 😘
South Boston train station is right downtown tho you may need an Uber to get to your hotel with bags. Otherwise, we were walking the whole time. I believe the Acela.
I’ll be renting a car to go from NYC to Boston in 7 days. But found this video and am thinking of doing what you did. This video is very informative. Thanks. Just a question, do you know if we can hop on hop off at the stops along the way?
You are most welcome. You would have to research the Amtrak option for multi ride..link below www.amtrak.com/deals-discounts/multi-ride-rail-passes.html
"When your platform is assigned" why board with the rest of the peons. If you get a red cap they get the platform assignment before it is posted and you get boarded BEFORE of the rest of the peons. This could make a huge difference! If you think about getting off, you can! Amtrak does not charge extra (unlike airlines) to reschedule, so you can get off, go to the station and rebook for the next train and tour that city. Most motels have a shuttle bus so if you stay over in a town you can get them to pick you up and (the next day) bring you back. Of course the Northeast regional has good WiFi but with a lot of people using it it might be spotty. About Acela, it is 40 minutes faster than the NE Regional, if it is not delayed. The only place either train can go fast is a short run in Rhode Island, so for NYC-Boston it is not worth it.
No question that is the best train route in America even the “slow” train is Bette than other Amtrak routes. It’s all downhill from that train. Ny to Boston in no way is “long” distance
New adventure starting in Boston! If you missed any NYC video, they're all here: ua-cam.com/video/JwMefsNZ77U/v-deo.html - Have a wonderful weekend! 😍
sure thanks
Nice
Hope you liked my city. I wish I knew you would coming; we could've had dinner. :)
Hey how arre you
Renata: The Amtra Train is just amazing with great space that have a great store, I will love to travels on this great train soon in the near future!

Glad it was helpful! Exact reason we produce these videos...to help fellow travelers. Enjoy your visit!
I think it's something that I really want to do soon... travel across the US by train... maybe a long vacation for 2022. Thanks for this, Renata!
You are most welcome.👍😀

Thanks for sharing. The train is so easy I would prefer it every time. I imagine the roads must be full of traffic between the 2 cities.
True! And in my case bring a lot of coins with you. The staff in the cafe car would appreciate it because they can make change for other passengers easier. It pays to bring several denominations of dollar Bill's from 1 to 100 dollars for the trip and for a down payment for holding your room in the hotel.
Thanks for the suggestion
Never seen the US train. Thank you for this bunch of little details. Great video!
You are most welcome
There's also the Acela Line on that route. Faster trains, but a bit more expensive. New Acela trains are on their way.

The good news is that the overhead wires and track are all pretty new or renovated, so the trains no longer suffer from heat related, sagging wire delays (those from NYC to DC do).
5. NYC's surviving iconic train station is Grand Central Terminal, which serves Metro North Railroad's commuter trains north along the Hudson River and east to Connecticut. Trains to Long Island have recently been added, in a massive new underground addition.
Как всегда,видео супер.На поезде путешествовать всегда интересно,давно я ездил на поезде,в отпуск в 95 году,5 дней путешествие длилось 😁
Привет и спасибо. Куда вы ездили поездом?
@@RenataPereiraTV Из города Сургут Россия в Казахстан,с тремя пересадками ехали,вот и получилось что пять суток ехали.С одной стороны конечно утомительна такая длинная поездка,с другой стороны очень интересно,много городов поселили и посмотрели
Так круто. Какая была ваша любимая остановка
5:12 The "dining car" is really called the "Cafe Car" and it extends beyond the actual cafe counter. The next car behind that is the Business Class car. There is no "restaurant car" in the Northeast Regional Amtrak trains.
Renata's channel is next level of travel vlog. Best ever👍. But maybe, please add more food/culinary content.. coz everybody love eat😂
Wow, thank you! Yes, we recognize that eating is a major part of traveling...and we are adding more food to our videos. Thanks for the suggestion 👍😀
always wonderful video
Love from Ahmedabad, India
Thanks a ton. Let me ask you, now that India has opened...what is the situation? We would love to visit India but want to make sure it is the right time.
@@RenataPereiraTV thanks for reply yes true.
just yesterday i was know it from newspaper. I'm sure you too much enjoy if you visit India. you are most welcome.
thank you.
@@prakashmena2519 Thanks to you
Your video is really inspiring me
So cool....thank you!👍😀👍
Grato pelo video Renata.
Obrigada!
Happy travelling 🚂
Thank you very much 👍😀👍
Great vlog👍
Thank you 😊
Would love to do that journey,looks fantastic
I hope you get the chance as the area is very charming
Hotels are pricey in Boston. To save money, don't stay in town but pick a hotel slightly out of town. You should be able to find cheaper places along an MBTA (subway) route. Maybe near MIT or Harvard on the Red Line.
Thanks for the suggestion. That is a good option. Do those hotels also charge the "facility/resort fee"?
@@RenataPereiraTV It was a while ago, but the Courtyard by Marriott about a mile from Harvard I don't think had a resort fee. Depending on the time of year, Boston hotels are pricey. If you don't mind taking the train back and forth to downtown (the train ride is fairly short), they're half the price. :)
@@roachtoasties Thanks for the idea! This time we ended up staying downtown for the convenience, as we love when we have the chance to walk everywhere. But for future trips, we'll most likely check other options 🙂👍
@@RenataPereiraTV Thanks.
If your early they have a lounge for 1st class passengers
So he is right pays to be early❤😊
HAHA, thanks for sharing. How much more are 1st class tickets?
God bless you and your family
Thank you Adeel
Enjoy wotching your vidio👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
There are lots of Portuguese people in south eastern Mass (from the whaling industry). My mother is from Boston and she is 1/2 with her ancestors from the Azores. Be sure to visit the North Church and ol’ Iron Sides.
Thanks for sharing. Gordon has a Portuguese friend in Canada who had relatives in the area....from the Azores. Keep watching, we cover the historical trail 👍😀
Oh.. not to mention William Bradford came over on the Mayflower to Plymouth rock (not much to see there) and started the first Thanksgiving….just saying
@@wbradford84 Oh wow!!! How nice!!
Great timing, I will be making this journey next summer so this was really helpful to see. I had heard that you should sit on the right hand side of the train for the best views once out of New York, having sat on the left hand side would you agree or disagree with this?
Hello. Leaving from NYC, left hand side to see the city skyline and then right hand side to see the water as you get thru Conn/RI. We have 4 other NY videos...do check them out. Enjoy your trip next year.
@@RenataPereiraTV Thanks for that Renata. I will definitely check out your other videos!
You should do a train through Colorado!
Yes, I know 👍👍 thanks for recommending
Acela isn’t much faster than the Regional (I’ve used both). The only advantage that Acela has is that the trains are nicer. Acela has reserved seating. The Northeast Regional doesn’t (with the exception of Business Class, which is actually more expensive than a regular Acela ticket).
Amtrak dining is overpriced. Buy food at the station and then bring it onboard.
Thank you for your tips👍😀
رائع رحله جميله وترجمه ممتازه
شكرا ريناتا
شكرا لمشاهدتك👍😀
Olá! Estávamos aguardando ansiosos os novos vídeos. Onde vocês guardaram os carros durante essa viagem a NY?
Apa khabar from malaysia hehe,hmm suddenly gave me idea to travel with train hehe,btw nice train trip anyway
Thank you. Yes, travel by train is easy...do consider when available. Thanks for watching
Hello😊 I’m traveling from New York to Boston this March alone with 2 luggages. Can you tell me where you keep you big luggage? Thanks 🙏
There is a compartment near the door for luggage. Note, you have to carry on yourself or they may have porters to help for a tip...can't quite remember. Enjoy both cities....they are fantastic
Very nice Video 👍
Thank you 👍
I did Kissimmee to Baltimore it was awesome
Very cool. Sleeper? How many stops?
I think you are making the right choice for not taking Acela, which usually takes 3.5hours with out of proportion fare. Hope there will be some kind of upgrade to 125mph or 150mph system which should make travel between these two cities in less than 2 hours.
Hello and thanks. Yes, I read that there is an idea to build a new high speed train connecting the 2 cities.
@@RenataPereiraTV Pray hard it will be built sooner 🙏🙏🙏.
Great video! You should know that the Thames is not pronounced "temz" in Connecticut. It is pronounced "thames", with a TH, rhymes with James.
Thanks for the info! AND thank you for watching.
As someone who travels from NYC to Boston often, the train price is not worth it. Yes you need some travel time when you travel by plane, the main chunk of time being from Manhattan to the airport but Boston's airport is like 15 min to the city center.
I hear ya.
You can get Amtrak tickets from Boston to NYC for as little as $43. You will spend far more that in cabs to and from both airports.
I have travelled on Acela. It shaves off an hour on your trip. That's it. And it costs more.
Yes, it is a little bit faster but not super fast like European or Japanese trains. For us, who can work on a train, we prefer to save a little. There is talk of a faster high speed train to be built in that corridor. Lets see if they can get it off the ground.
Nice video but if the Shinkansen in Japan is a 10 on 10, what do you rate the train NYC to BOS? ...Just wondering. Cheers
True no comparison bro.
Not as fast and less modern interior design. But the fact that one can sit and work and its pure pleasure vs having to take a plane.
I like train rides
We do too. Thanks for sharing
Omg 😱, super kereeen👍👍👍👍👍. The most developed country in the world. 😀
Thank you so much 😀
Hi renata. Loved the video! Can you please tell me how much luggage can 1 passenger carry on this journey? 🙏😊
Not really sure as we were not scanned and had to take our own luggage on. Here is a link to Amtrak luggage policy...but I am not sure what they really follow as this was my first trip in this corridor.
Thank uou good video
Thank you too
Good video to training Inglish
Cool we have many videos👍😀
Amazing 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!

I hope we can too with DC
Dear, Your Accent is so Cool.
HAHA, thank you! 😃
Si te gusto este servicio de Amtrak deberias de tratar el Amtrak California zephyr va de Chicago a San Francisco muy bonito
¡Hola Jesus! Sí, me gustaría mucho. Ojalá un día lo haremos 😍
Gracias Renata por este blog que descubrí hoy 22 octubre 2021; Hice este trayecto en 2008 desde Boston a Ny en unos buses 🚍 que llegaban a la Canal Street y lafayette la verdad eran unos que ya no hacen mas el recorrido por ser poco seguros eran algo así como Fonwua o se pronuncia así ! me encantó el vídeo Gracias y les mirare su contenido.También disfruto muchísimo viajar con mi marido!
Que bueno, muchísimas gracias 😊. También hice unos viajes en bus hace muchos años en otras partes de los EEUU y igual, no me gustó. Por eso hoy prefiero los trenes o los coches 😉. Que tengas una excelente semana 😘
@@RenataPereiraTV Gracias desde Santiago Chile .
Good evening from Indonesia 😁
Hello and thanks for watching
Which train is this old or the acela train? Is the south station close to downtown and all main attractions
South Boston train station is right downtown tho you may need an Uber to get to your hotel with bags. Otherwise, we were walking the whole time. I believe the Acela.
I’ll be renting a car to go from NYC to Boston in 7 days. But found this video and am thinking of doing what you did. This video is very informative. Thanks. Just a question, do you know if we can hop on hop off at the stops along the way?
You are most welcome. You would have to research the Amtrak option for multi ride..link below
www.amtrak.com/deals-discounts/multi-ride-rail-passes.html
"When your platform is assigned" why board with the rest of the peons. If you get a red cap they get the platform assignment before it is posted and you get boarded BEFORE of the rest of the peons. This could make a huge difference! If you think about getting off, you can! Amtrak does not charge extra (unlike airlines) to reschedule, so you can get off, go to the station and rebook for the next train and tour that city. Most motels have a shuttle bus so if you stay over in a town you can get them to pick you up and (the next day) bring you back. Of course the Northeast regional has good WiFi but with a lot of people using it it might be spotty. About Acela, it is 40 minutes faster than the NE Regional, if it is not delayed. The only place either train can go fast is a short run in Rhode Island, so for NYC-Boston it is not worth it.
$3.50 for coffee, $7.50 for burger - Renata's expression when tasting burger, priceless.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your support
No question that is the best train route in America even the “slow” train is Bette than other Amtrak routes. It’s all downhill from that train. Ny to Boston in no way is “long” distance
👏👍🙂🙋 Thanks
Teşekkürler😀👍
