I do BOS-NYC occasionally. Have driven, taken the train, and have taken a bus. The train was fine, but the bus was also fine, was far cheaper and the bus terminal is just as central in Manhattan.

It makes me so mad that we have a rail system that has all the structural necessities to make HSR a reality, yet we're stuck with service that last looked modern 50 years ago. If there's one place in the USA that would have the ridership to support a HSR it would be the Boston-DC metro axis.
I'm using the RTE station as opposed to BOS proper. Driving would still be faster/cheaper in general. But then I'd have to drive into Manhattan.
