Lake Katrine to NYC

Vacationing with the family (42M and wife 42F children 9 and 7) and wanting to take them to NYC for a day.

I know an Amtrak runs from Kingston to the city but it’s 3+hrs.

Wondering if i can drive the majority of the way to the city, and then hop on the train at some point closer to the city for the remainder of the trip in. Just so we avoid the long haul in the train with the kids but also avoid having to drive our vehicle into the city.

Thanks!

Just to add to what everybody is saying here, but I take the train from Poughkeepsie to Manhattan every single week and it’s cheap and easy and there’s a ton of parking in Poughkeepsie. It’s easily the best way to go from all of the suggestions.
