Now it's chic to take the bus! With gourmet food served by cheerful waitresses, classic movies, relaxing games and educational lectures, a bus trip with Gourmet Traveler makes getting to your destination almost as fun as being there. "We do something that nobody else does", says Gourmet Traveler owner Valerie Giguere. "Every trip is a bit different." Escape for a weekend in Newport, RI, where turn-of-the-century society giants built their grand summer cottages atop the cliffs. Retreat to the bucolic islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Win big at Foxwoods Casino! Enjoy tea at New York's famous Waldorf Astoria, take in a Broadway show and explore Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Or become bewitched by historic Salem, MA's House of the Seven Gables and the Witch Museum. Experience a comic romp at Boston's Medieval Manor, chug and chew on Newport's luxurious Dinner Train, take in a Red Sox game or tour the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame. With everything from day trips to Six Flags to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, there's something for everyone. From the moment you board the luxurious air-conditioned motorcoach, the trip will be like nothing you have ever experienced. Your cheerful tour guide welcomes you, then breakfast is served. Savor gourmet pastries, muffins or croissants, fresh fruit plates, yogurt and juice. Sit back and relax as a classic movie plays. When was the last time you saw Casablanca or South Pacific?
