Answer:
My friend, where in Virgina are you coming from? For example, if you're in Richmond, you can take Amtrak from there to New York Penn Station for around $90 to $150 one way, per person. If you're Northern VA, near Washington, DC, you can take Amtrak from Union Station to New York Penn Station for around $80 to $200 person. The higher fare is form the Acela Express train, which is a high speed train service the runs from DC to Boston, MA. Alternately, if you're near Washington, DC, you can take Megabus or BoltBus from Union Station to New York City for around $25 one way, per person. Good luck Native New Yorker

You could take a bus to save money, but, it's a very long trip that way. A train naturally is faster and I'm sure is more money. Sometimes the airlines have a special discount fare. Sorry you'll have to call all three means of transport for the cost. Fourth idea is to call 3 different travel agents. 3 because you want to compare cost.

Yes you can still visit New York from Virginia. Make it sure to save money more than 1000 USD because you've got to spend money for that.

How will you stay in Manhattan with only $900, when a hotel is $300 a night? Be realistic.

Hi there. Great to hear you are from England! I have always wanted to visit it! =) You can take a tour bus, greyhound, train or plane to New York from Virginia and you can also drive if you have the time to. The train tickets could be a bit pricey and I don't know but I'll make a guess from 100-200 U.S. dollars for one way and one person. You can also check the internet or call an information hotline and ask for the prices for your tickets. It also depends how long you are staying in New York. Like Enlgand, New York can be very pricey depending what you are doing, going to check in a hotel or a motel and the food and souveneirs and sight seeing. I don't know anything about Biritsh pounds but bring a good $3000 to $5000 U.S. dollars if you are atleast staying in new York for a week and if you want to enjoy your time there. =) I was born in New York but I don't live there and haven't seen it since I was 2. ='( I hope you guys have a splendid time in America and in Virginia and New York Mate. =) Cheers and blessings from America to Great Britain, England mate. =) God bless.

Well make sure your parents KNOW that you will be going to the city. And it depends where you are staying in VA, if you are staying in a city, then more than likely there will be a Amtrak station there. Go to www.amtrak.com and look up where you are staying and see if they have a station there. Then put your destination as NY-Penn Station and then you will see the price. Make sure you put "round trip". I hope you're over 16. NYC is no place for a young girl to go galavanting around with her friend. Hope this helps.
