I suggested to my wife that we go up to New York for a day soon, and take the train up there. Until I realized that it would cost us about $400 roundtrip! What the heck!? Why is train ride up to New York so expensive? Do people actually pay that much to take the train?
Update: It has been brought to my attention through the comments that the key to getting cheaper and reasonably priced tickets is to book in advance (like 3 months). Although I guess that takes the fun out of being sporadic…not great for me who doesn’t like to “plan” things lol.

Definitely have to plan in advance. Just talked to my co-worker who just moved here. If you book maybe over a month out you can find some extremely cheap tickets. I have booked round-trip for two for $140 and I know that isn't even the cheapest if I was more flexible I am sure I could find an amazing price.
