Start off by learning more about photography and film, since Rochester is home to Eastman Kodak, at the George Eastman House Museum. Consider taking a stroll on the beach at Charlotte, or riding a bike on a path during autumn, and finishing up your day at a local hot dog stand for a "white hot."
Take the time to prioritize your trip to New York City, whether it be for business or pleasure. There is so much to see, and it would take a lifetime just to savor a small portion of "The City."
Learn about weekly specials and discounts for early reservations when you book your train travel by logging on to the Amtrak Web site (see Resources).
Use the train station codes ROC (Rochester) and NYP (New York Penn Station) to search for fares.
Plan to leave early. There are 4 departures daily from Rochester to New York in the morning and afternoon.
