Amtrak Acela

Pros: The fact that the route hugs the Atlantic shoreline for most of the way; the scenery is great and very interesting! Cons: Pretty much ok. Not quite up to SBB standadrs ;-) but similar to riding the train in Italy or France. Tips: Enjoy!

Pros: just enjoyed the ride overall. Cons: the wifi... kept getting kicked off and there is really no information on how to connect to it also would be nice to sit in a different seat if sitting with a family I don't know and there is a vacant seat from NY to BOS right in the next row (understand if it's a full train not an option but where it's not, would be a nice option).
