If you take a coach
Confirm the curb or terminal listed on your ticket and the walk to your accommodation. Allow a traffic buffer if your arrival day includes a timed museum entry, restaurant booking, or connection. Check the boarding location for the return as well.
From Union Station to the rest of DC
Use the Red Line or a local connection for your next stop. If your time is short, choose a small cluster of museums or memorials and check entry requirements before you go. On the return to New York, leave time to get from Moynihan Train Hall to your hotel or onward train.
