Fung Wah Bus is a fantastic way to get from New York to Boston (from Chinatown to Chinatown) for really cheap: 15 dollars each way! It's a great deal, and the trip is as reasonable in time as any bus ride is. There is usually a pit stop somewhere half way along the way. The people are very regimented, so you have to make sure that you are ready for the bus at the time it's leaving. Get tickets before the make sure you can be on the bus you want. Online tickets can be bought also.
