Acela to NYC Now Somewhat Less Ridiculously Expensive

Know how it can cost like $200 to take Amtrak's Acela to New York? Know how that's crazy expensive, way costlier than flying? Well, apparently Amtrak got the memo, or noticed that nobody has $200 to go to New York in this economy, because it's lowered one-way (!) Acela fares from Boston to NYC to a mere $79 (though most fares were $89 when we tried to book a trip for this weekend, with a few $62 return trip options). Still doesn't beat the Fung Wah, but it's a slight improvement.
