Abolutely no apologies needed. It is totally full on for 9 weeks-the Ballet rents aren't a lot short of the track rents-and most of the shops/restaurants arenon-stop probably from Memorial Weekend through the end of track season.

The acid test for me is whether I'd think there was enough going on for me to want to move permanently from London. Probably not is the answer. Winters are non-existant here and 2-3 weeks in February was expected but still a bit of a shock to the system! The poor Amtrak service and the seeming lack of progress on the commuter rail service down to Albany is frustrating. However overall quality of life (winter weather aside) is great-especially if you measured it up to another racing town like Newmarket
