How would I get to New York from Philadelphia on a train?

How can I get from Philadelphia, PA to New York city by commuter train? How much will it cost?

I'll be staying in a Philly suburb near the Jersey border and need to get to Manhattan for a day and don't want to drive. any suggestions?
Answer:

SEPTA (South East Pennsylvania Transit Authority) route R7 train from 30th Street station upper level to its last stop at Trenton. Walk along the same platform to the connecting NJT (New Jersey Transit) train which will take you to the Penn station in Manhattan

NJTransit has the hourly clocker service from Philly to NY Penn Station. I believe the cost is $14 when I last checked the NJTransit website: http://www.njtransit.com

Yea take the Jersey line from 30th to Trenton, and then get off and take the line to Penn Station. It costs about $15 to $20.
