Hi,
I think I may take the Amtrak...it costs $1000 a calendar month.
As for my current internship in New York, I will only commute for 19 days (i.e. 19 business days) so I don't think it is worthwhile to find a sublet in New York for a month. I much prefer the comfort of my own home and the peace of Philadelphia, at the expense of some sleep.
Additionally, I have some personal emotional reasons why I don't want to live in New York.
I guess if I take the Amtrak it be easy to catch the E train to work, and will give me more flexibility in the travel times.
Any good lunchtime eats around 53rd and Park??

(on a student budget!)
Thanks,
Andy
