About this Event
Step aboard our dining car "Epicurus" for an unforgettable journey to the Big Apple. Immerse yourself in sweeping autumn views of the Hudson River, forested bluffs and historic river towns. Guests will delight-in a freshly prepared five-course dinner served on white linens with the rhythmic sway of the train and period decor evoking the romance of mid-century rail travel. It's all about good company, great tastes, and a relaxed ride through the season's beauty. Don’t miss out on this tasty one-way trip following the Hudson River over 140 miles from Albany/Renesselaer to New York City!
