New York City: The Heart of the Empire State

It’s easy and genuinely exciting to take Amtrak to New York City. All Upstate New York, Canadian and Vermont routes—including the Empire Service, Adirondack, Maple Leaf and Ethan Allen Express—stop at the stunning Daniel Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station, a state-of-the-art transportation hub in Manhattan that welcomes visitors to the greatest city on the planet. Gotham has it all: iconic landmarks, Broadway magic, culinary delights, second-to-none shopping, world class museums and art galleries and extraordinary neighborhoods ripe for exploration. New York City is a true 24-hour metropolis where you can order a Michelin-star meal to your hotel room late at night. Any night. Wander through Central Park or Times Square or walk the entire High Line. Visit the Museum of Modern Art or go high in the sky for an immersive experience at the Edge. The Big Apple’s first public beach opened along the banks of the Hudson River in 2023. This destination is unquestionably a city with something for everyone. No wonder it’s considered by most people as being the proverbial center of the universe.
