New York and Boston
Overview
New York and Boston make for a classic twin-centre combination, and starting in New York is a thrilling way to begin your East Coast USA adventure. Arrive in Manhattan and dive straight into the city's iconic sights—ascend the Empire State Building, stroll through Central Park, and shop to your heart's content. When the day winds down, there’s no shortage of legendary bars and diners to unwind in and soak up the city's electric atmosphere.
After your New York escapades, board a northbound Amtrak train for a scenic and relaxing journey to Boston—around three and a half hours. Once in Boston, you’ll experience a complete contrast in pace and vibe. Brimming with colonial history, the city invites you to walk the Freedom Trail and uncover its stories on foot. Boston’s food scene is just as rich—dig into Clam Chowder and Lobster Rolls, indulge in Boston Cream Pie or Cannoli if you’ve got a sweet tooth, and for a true taste of tradition, sample Boston Baked Beans or local-style fish & chips. Don't forget to raise a glass at one of the city’s many legendary breweries, including the iconic Samuel Adams Boston Beer Company. (TM)
