Flights and Transport - Port Chester and Boston

[Northern Neighbour]

I haven't been able to find anything affordable.  The only real option is to rent a van in NYC or NJ, but someone would have to return it back to NY or NJ.  That's the most affordable option.

[GO4IT]

So here's the advice of my friend who works at the MTA (and will be coming to the Thurs show) on options to get from LaGuardia to Port Chester:

1. Cab to Grand Central then Metro-North train to Port Chester

2. Cab to Port Chester

3. M60 bus from LGA to 125th St Metro-North station then train to Port Chester

4. You pick them up.

Hey forum friends, brace yourself, a lot of questions are coming... How to best get from Boston back to NYC on the 1st of January? And again, brace yourself, I don't have a driver's license, so nothing involving me driving a car.

Nice! I will be heading back to NYC on the 1st via bus. I like worldwide, those dudes are nice! Don't have a time frame yet but I'm sure when we all get together we can see what works. I think it's good to reserve but you only need to do it a few days ahead.

Hey everyone.

I am actually starting a new job in NYC on the 27th (figures).  I think it would make the most sense for me to take the train from Grand Central up to Port Chester.  Since it will be my first day I will need to work until 5pm.  My new boss is awesome but I don't see him letting me leave early nor will I ask.

Is anyone else that works in the city working the full day and then taking the train up from Grand Central?  Would love a travel buddy but if not I'll be fine by myself.  Just checking.

ynwa will then pick me up from the train station and transport over to the venue.

[Northern Neighbour]

Congratulations on the new job!   

[Haldon]

Since I'll be staying in the city before heading up to Boston, i'll be taking the train from Grand Central into PC each day, and then taking the train back each night....would certainly love some train buddies to hang with on the trip.

If there are folks who are taking the train from NYC to Boston on the 30th, I'm def down to buddy up with them as well.

Haldon, I'll be your train buddy to Boston.

(OMG! I'm going to be train buddies with Haldon!! Sqeeeeeeeeeallllllll!)

Congratulations on the new job!   

Thanks, Ben!  Looking forward to seeing you and the Mrs.

Hey there!  What time do you think you will be heading up to PC from NYC on Thurs/Fri? 

[Haldon]

I actually don't have any idea what time I'll be heading up to PC each day.
I have aspirations of getting up there somewhat early so that I can enjoy any pre-show festivities...but who knows

As far as NYC to Boston...does anyone have any idea what the best Boston train station to get into is?

[musicgroz]

Back Bay is closer to the venue. Let's you out by Copley Sq. where you can pick up the B-line to Agganis. South Station is OK but puts you downtown not where the gig is.

I believe I'm taking the train up too & would love to be travel buddies with you both.  It'd be so Threes Company.

Any thoughts on what time you'll want to leave?
I took a look an the train ride is $71 is you leave before 7am (not likely for me)
After that it runs to $100 plus...
I'd be down for the 12pm express train

[Fully]

I don't think I can do pre 7am. 12 sounds good to me. Do we know how to best get to the hotel?

[Northern Neighbour]

I believe the T goes from the train station right to Brookline Marriott.  Not sure which line.  Maybe send an email or call the hotel.

[Haldon]

Ok, so I took a look at the metro map
It seems that the back bay stop (amtrak) is a yellow line stop.  So when we get off of the amtrak train, we take the yellow line north...we transfer at the downtown crossing stop to the park street station...we then take the cleveland circle green line train west to to the hotel stop....whew...
piece of cake
