Thanks, Google Alert, for pointing this out:
“The very hard partying NYU economics professor Nouriel Roubini painted such a bleak picture of our economy he was dubbed Dr. Doom,” writes Brian Van at Gawker. “Now his outlook has changed so he says he wants a new nickame.”
They meant Brian Moylan. There’s really no explanation for that mistake.
This winter travel on the Adirondack, named by National Geographic as one of the top ten most scenic train rides in the world. Beginning January 7, 2010, the weekend roundtrip fare is $85.00 between New York City and Montreal, Canada.
I have to go.
Yessssssss!
HAHAHA! It’ll take you all weekend to get there! It’s a 7-10 hour ride. And when you do get there, it’ll be 20 degrees until the sun sets (at 4PM). And then it will be -5.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve made this absolutely glorious trip, oh I don’t know, 75 times, having grown up on the frozen tundras of Upstate New York. And I love that Amtrak. Love it. But the train from Montreal back to New York is always delayed, sometimes for several hours.
If they offer this rate during the Jazz Festival, Fringe, and Just For Laughs, then yeah, see you in the cafe car.
Yes, I looked into it, and it’s two days of TRAVEL for what is normally a 6 hour car ride. It is more prudent to rent a car Friday and return it Monday morning (which is sort of what we did the last time I went up). Oh well. I’ve been on the segment up to Albany, and it was very nice, I miss that train ride…
