A Summer Excursion: New York City

At Seaside, c. 1892 oil
William Merritt Chase

The painting is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. 

There is an Amtrak train service for Vermont to New York City on the Ethan Allen Express. For the 7.5 hour (one way) trip, departures don't accommodate a day trip (the last time I looked). It would be an overnight stay and return the next day. Taking in a Broadway show, and a museum tour would be a wonderful small summer excursion.

Using the Amtrak website is a bit of a hassle for me.  The schedule doesn't include ticket prices. A ticket price search shows me cost that includes a confusing bus transfer. I'd call a travel agent.
