New York is a magical place to visit during the holidays and located just a little more than 200 miles from the district, you really cant afford not to go. Ice skate under the tree in Rockefeller Center. Window shop at FAO Schwartz and Tiffany and Co. (Or venture inside if youre truly brave just remember were on a budget.) Drink hot chocolate in the Plaza, a la Eloise. Whisper your most coveted Christmas wish to Santa at Macys. Best of all, forget about paying upward of $150 to take the train or a plane. For less than $50or as little as $1.50trek from Metro Center to NYCs Penn Station in about the same amount of time as you could ride the rails or fly (security check and waiting times included).
Launched earlier this year, the Bolt Bus and Megabus each offer multiple daily services from D.C. to the Big Apple, as well as a few other Eastern seaboard locales. Theyre newer, cleanerand perhaps saferthan the Chinatown buses. Plus, trips come with swank luxuries like WiFi and electrical outlets. You wont find that on the Greyhound.
Ticket prices increase with demand, starting at an unbelievable $1 each way (plus 50 cent booking fee) and increasing up to about $40 per seat (though Ive never paid more than $50 for a round-trip).
So instead of heading out to Pentagon City this weekend to tackle your Christmas shopping list, head to Fifth Avenue instead. Just think, if you score the $1 tickets, thats cheaper than the Metro fare.
