What is the best way to travel from New York City to Portland Maine and back?
I will be flying from Seattle to NYC in April and want to make a trip to Portland, Maine during my time there. Flying seems to be too expensive. What would you recommend for trains and/or buses? I've been to NYC before but never north of there. Thank you.

Answer 1 :
Train to Boston, then to Portland. Bus the same way. Check Amtrak.com and Trailways, peter pan bus lines.
Answer 2 :
Yes, the bus from the Port Authority Bus Terminal near Times Square may be good alternative. The train is more expensive and at least with the bus, there is a bus heading to Boston most likely every hour and then you will connect to Portland from Boston. Jetblue is flying to Portland starting in May and the prices are reasonable ($59 one way).
