Day 7 For Friday, we headed out of the hotel, hit Angelina’s Bakery again for a quick bite before heading to Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station. We booked an Amtrak train north out to the city to Poughkeepsie, NY with absolutely no idea how any of this works. ha They don’t assign seats, so you get to play this fun little game where you wait in the main hall until they assign a track and display it 15 minutes…
