The journey on a 1949 train car ended up being one of my all-time favorite experiences in NYC, equal parts awe-inspiring and relaxing.
These vintage trains date back to the 1940s when they boasted modern amenities and the most talented staff to cater to the highest of society.
I felt like a Rockefeller as I ate my egg sandwich, fruit bowl and a latte (all complimentary!) on a plush banquette in the well-appointed lounge.
Tickets for these vintage train rides start at $179/person, but are only on sale until March 2, after which trips will be paused indefinitely.
