I am from nyc and looking to purchase a home in Easton, PA. Since I work in nyc, i will be commuting three times a week. Is there a train I can take into penn station? Even if i have to drive to the train station. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Default NJ Transit

The way I've taken the train to Penn Station is to drive over to Annandale, NJ (right off of I-78) and catch the NJ Transit train from there, then I transferred to another train at Newark and went right into Penn Station.

The line you want is the Raritan - here's a link for you:

EXCELLENT! That is technically Wilson borough and the area is generally good. Now there is a strip club closeby that could cause some late night noise and shenanigans but otherwise it's ok. And, you would be about 6-7 blocks from my work. Im right by EHS.

The good thing about easton, you are on the border of NJ and depending on traffic you can make it to NYC in less than an hour and half. I know i go there very often.

C R Fanny's is about 2 blocks from 18th and Washington Blvd. The club is located in the 1700 block of Butler Street. There was a homicide outside the club back in 2006 but the area nearby is pretty quiet. The strip club is obviously a nuisance area in Wilson Borough.
