Recommendation
Considering efficiency and time, I recommend traveling by air, especially if you prefer to minimize travel time. Flights from nearby airports (such as Richmond International Airport) will get you to New York City quickly and comfortably. However, if you’re looking for a more scenic route and don’t mind the longer duration, taking the Amtrak train can provide a unique travel experience.
