Nathan Tyree: New York
For the trip to New York we've decided to take a train. It turns out that Amtrak is pretty cheap and I've always wanted to travel by train.

I thought I had my hotel picked out. I found this place that is amazing. It's a 4 star hotel, but has room rates about $200 a night (which is fucking amazing for NYC). It turns out that the place is booked for the next century or so.

Now I'm trying to locate another hotel. It looks like we may end up at the Radison.

Oh, the KGB bar site has posted the details about the participants:
