South Station or Back Bay to catch ~5:30pm Amtrak train to NYC
Back Bay may be more convenient but I want to make sure I get a forward facing seat where I can plug in the gadgets. Will the seats be filled by the time the train pulls into Back Bay or should I just head over to South Station and be done with it?
Also, are there enough places nearby the Back Bay station (like an Au Bon Pain) in which I can buy something to eat for dinner to bring with me on train?
Thanks.
