We talked about getting away for Spring Break for a while and ended up deciding on taking a trip to NYC. After sharing a meal with extended family on Easter, we traveled to Vermont for the night to catch an early train the next morning. We had a relaxing dinner out at 99's and then got some rest before our travel day.
While taking the train from Essex, VT is a bit longer than the Albany route, it was less time driving in the car and the Vermonter line has a Cafe Car. This longer train ride made for an adventure all its own to get in and out of the city.
We opted not to venture out too far having gotten into the city pretty late so we went across the street to the Urban Market Food Court for some dinner. Claire tried vegan chicken nuggets but didn't love them!
We had a very busy whirlwind three days in Manhatten. Here's some of the fun:
