Another new Amtrak route from NYC is launching just in time for your next summer getaway.

The Vermont Agency of Transportation recently announced that the long-awaited train service from Penn Station, New York to Burlington, Vermont will officially launch on Friday, July 29. It’s the first time Burlington will have regular passenger rail service since the 1950s.

The route, dubbed the Ethan Allen Express, will make intermediate stops in Middlebury and Vergennes, Vermont, in addition to its already-existing service to Castleton, Rutland, and upstate New York. Southbound trains leave Burlington daily at 10:10 am, arriving at Penn Station at 5:45 pm. Northbound trains leave Penn Station at 2:21 pm and arrive in Burlington at 9:55 pm.

Fares will start at $75 one way, with the total trip expected to take around seven-and-a-half hours. By comparison, driving between the two cities takes about five and a half hours without traffic. Amtrak’s Vermonter line already serves Eastern Vermont destinations like Brattleboro and Montpelier.

It took 10 years, but now it’s official. Greenwich Village’s iconic Julius’ bar, the oldest gay bar in the city, was just awarded its much-awaited landmark status.

The decision came a decade after the cause was first taken up by the Village Preservation organization, and on Tuesday morning, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission finally voted on the case.

“Julius’ finally has the landmark status it deserves,” Executive Director of Village Preservation Andrew Berman said in a statement. “This is a huge step forward in recognizing our city’s history as a refuge and home to the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ community.”

In addition to being the oldest gay bar in NYC, Julius’ is also famously known for being an important site of activism. In 1966, the “Sip-In” protest took place at the Julius’, where participants condemned the regulations that, at the time, criminalized gay bars. The bar has been open since the 1860s.

“This is an integral part of New York and American history, and these stories and places must be honoured and preserved,” added Berman. “We praise the city for taking this long-overdue action and urge them to keep going.”

Recently, Brooklyn also got a new LGBTQ+ landmark to celebrate. In late November, the Lesbian Herstory Archives building was recognized as first queer landmark in the borough.
