For many travelers, the question isn’t whether to go to New York—but how to get there. While flights and car trips remain options, trains offer a balance of speed, comfort, and environmental sustainability that’s hard to beat. Driving from Baltimore to NYC can take over 4–5 hours, depending on traffic, and finding parking in Manhattan adds more hassle. Flying might seem faster, but once you factor in security lines, airport transfers, and boarding delays, trains often match or even surpass flights in total travel time. https://amtraktrainstations.com/blog/amtrak-baltimore-to-new-york-city/
