1: Book as far in advance as possible.
2: The NE regional business class is worth it (to have assigned seating) and it’s only like 20-30 mins slower. It’s totally fine.

Agree with (1), but on (2) I personally find regular Northeast Regional (not business Northeast Regional) to be fine, mostly because I don’t care about an assigned seat or a free soda.

Assigned seats on the way down aren’t super important since the NE Regional starts at South Station and you have free reign… but assigned seats **are **nice for when you’re returning to BOS from NY and the train is already full with coming from DC/Philly, and you have to go hunting through a few cars for a seat, possibly facing backwards or next to the bathroom that smells like a hot morgue.

Assigned seat is just nice if you end up in a spot where seats are full ish and folks aren’t being smart… I once stood for like 45m before I could find a seat

Acela has assigned seating now too (maybe just business class, but not sure)

IIRC, Acela literally only has Business Class and First Class (I believe that gets you an attendant).
They don’t even have coach.

+1 on the business class if you can swing it
Came back from NY the other weekend. Spent the first two stops walking up and down the train cars trying to find a seat because people love to pile their luggage on the spare seat.
