After learning about track work AGAIN between Boston and Albany (this happened 2 years ago and we were bussed this leg--offered again this year and declined), we took the Northeast Regional to New York City, where we had a whirlwind 24 hours in the city. Our hotel was a short walk from Penn Station. Good thing too because the skies opened as soon as we arrived in our room. The 32nd floor afforded an incredible view of the lightning. During a break in the rain, we went out and saw many highlights including Times Square, the former site of the Mercury Theater, Central Park, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Rockefeller Center. The next day we hopped on a tour bus to view the city above the fray. At Battery Park, we got a bum deal with some boat tickets that had us being transported way down on Water Street which would have put us in jeopardy of missing our train. So sadly Isaac did not get the close up of the Statue of Liberty. The good news is we caught our train!
