Usher in the new year with some great travel deals. January is a perfect time to head to the Big Apple to see a show, visit a museum, and enjoy great dining. Or perhaps you’d rather stay close to home. You could check into a DC hotel and take in the museums and monuments when they’re quiet. For those who prefer a warmer climate, head down south with our Florida deal.

The four-ish-hour road trip from DC to NYC makes it easy for Washingtonians to get a taste of the Big Apple. And the plethora of low-cost bus lines between the cities makes it affordable, too.

Because there are so many competitors, each offers a range of enticing perks for a smoother trip, from luck-of-the-draw $1 tickets to free wi-fi and power outlets. Many companies even offer trips departing from Maryland and Virginia stops, perfect for people who don’t want to deal with shoving their way through Union Station on a Friday after work.

Here’s a rundown of some of the District’s busiest bus lines:

December dazzles at this time of year—trees glitter, figurines dance in store windows, and aromas of pine, cinnamon, and gingerbread float through the air. New York may be the ultimate holiday city, but Washington and Philadelphia put on great holiday displays, too. Celebrate the season in one of these cities or, for a more relaxing time, consider a getaway to a nearby resort or sunny Florida.
