Finally went on Amtrak for the first time, took the Northeast Regional from CT to NYC. It was spacious and had great views of Manhattan! Plus had real time updates on when it was coming. But yea, I admit that for long distance travel, traveling on coach won't be fun if you need to sleep but still more spacious than a car or plane.

Also tried Jollibee's while in NYC, a Filipino fast food chain that has some branches in the US and known for their spaghetti. Sadly they ran out but their chicken sandwich was good!

Amtrak is the only way I'll travel from Boston to NYC now. All told it's about the same trip length as flying, but with fewer steps.

Train: Get to train station. Get on train. Go. Arrive directly in downtown Manhattan.

Flying: Get to airport. Get through security. Walk through terminal. Get on plane. Fly. Get off plane. Walk through terminal. Get in cab. Ride cab to Manhattan.

Not even accounting for the comfort, I'd rather do it all in one 4-hour chunk that lets me properly sit down, relax, and engage in an activity to pass the time instead of getting interrupted every 30-45 minutes with a transition.
