@Ambarishrh For this small trip, train is the way that I would go, and then rent a car or Uber at your destination (Rochester). If you were doing a real road trip, or want to really get on the road, you can join me next year in August, 2018 (the whole month). I'm going to do about 8-9k miles or so.

I just recommended the train to someone else yesterday, too.

The bus from NYC to Rochester isn't glamorous but works very well.

I guess Greyhound has improved a lot over the years. I hear that they have power and WiFi now.

I'm trying to estimate how much it would be for me to attend. I called the Holiday Inn and they said the block is around $119 / night + taxes. It's been over 10 years since I've traveled to New York. What percentage should I estimate the hotel tax to be for Rochester?
-
It's around 10% for the Rochester area.

@Minion-Queen when will the special ML rate block of rooms be available to book at Holiday Inn?
-
They are available right now but their site still doesn't work. The code this year is GMC you can book online and do it manually or give them a call! http://mangocon.it/booknow/

Earlier the better, but you don't need loads of lead time. Amtrak has a nice app for your phone, too.

Generally followed by much larger moving object.

I'm thinking through what my travel schedule would look like for this. The last day of the conference is the 28th. Does the conference last the entire day on the 28th? If so, then I'd plan my return trip to be on the 29th.
