Go for either the Amtrak or the Greyhound.

Train is the easiest. Once you're in Boston, hop on the Red line. Go to South Station. From there you can purchase a ticket to New York on the commuter rail. Probably takes about three to four hours to get there. You can also buy the ticket round trip if you choose to do so.

There's a bus that goes from Chinatown in Boston to Chinatown in NYC direct and I hear it's WAY cheap. (Like $25 or so round trip.) Otherwise, I'd do the train. There are commuter flights from Logan to Laguardia, but if you don't have a car on either end, it might not work for you.

you will have the skill to locate a miles cheap flight someplace like Orbitz. in any different case a bus like Greyhoundwould be maximum inexpensive. South Station in Boston is the place each and all of the buses depart, attempt to get some suggestion there, or verify Greyhound internet site.

I'll take the Greyhound bus or Fungwah bus.
Everything (armtrack train, all buses) are located in South Station. So if you are in Boston, just take the red line to South Station.

Going by train is quite nice, if you can't afford the airfare. Much less smelly and tiring than a bus.
You are also up higher than a bus, and get a better view.
Trains often go through more wooded (and more picturesque) areas.

the absolute cheapest way to go is the Fung Wah bus - $15 each way - but the ride takes approximately 4 hours. http://www.fungwahbus.com
Personally, I pay the extra cash to take the Acela Express by Amtrak. http://www.amtrak.com

Katie is right about the train, but wrong about which one!! The Commuter Rail does not go to New York! It is Amtrak.

You could try the train but by far the cheapest is the Chinatown train. It goes from Chinatown (Boston) to Chinatown (New York) for ten bucks.

The express train is really quick and fairly comfortable.
