Since Maplewood and South Orange are “train towns”, with many residents utilizing train service (much to their chagrin regarding NJ Transit), Village Green thought our readership might be interested in this most recent press release that landed in our email via Amtrak:

Both you and your companion of choice must travel on the same itinerary and have tickets issued together. Roomettes are limited and restrictions apply.
