Creator's Key Takeaways

I kicked things off inside New York's Moahan Train Hall and even got into the Metro Lounge while riding in coach thanks to a little known perk.

The trip cost me 86 bucks. Leaves at 9:09. Let's get a souvenir.

I highly recommend getting snacks or eat something before you go. Bring something to drink because I don't believe there's a cafe car on board.

The lounge is the best in the system. The Chicago lounge is me. It's all right. I mean, at least it's a lounge. But this New York lounge sets the tone.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get snacks or eat something before you go because there's no cafe car on board.
Bring something to drink.
Use the Amtrak card holder lounge pass perk if you have one.
