The improvements they've made in recent years don't hide the fact that they should've never torn down the old one.
You'll almost miss your train because you'll be in the wrong part of the station. Fact.
Hold the NJ transit doors open to avoid crushing puny weakling tourists with rolling luggage
Kanchana SeneviratneAugust 23, 2012If you're waiting in a long line to ask a question, be sure that there aren't other help desks you could go to.
So it's not bad enough your phone is on ring, but now I gotta listen to you type too?
Parking in secacus and taking nj transit to and from city is way easy.
Not sure why people would choose to dine in here other than for convenience.
Natalie HunterDecember 13, 2010Grab a cupcake at Zaro's Bakery! The Red Velvet with Cream Cheese frosting is my favorite :)
Amtrak has free wifi - a great feature, but would be better if it didn't log me off every 10 minutes
gillian fallonDecember 12, 2010Want a beer while you wait for the train? Cringe at the thought of a Coors? Central Market has the real deal...mmm...Session Black...
Buy tickets ahead of time so you don't have to wait in line
ZinioOctober 7, 2011Boredom can beat while waiting for the train. This is a favorite spot to read digitally. (via Zinio user Dan C.)
macnewsAugust 25, 2011Oh what a crowded station! Take out your Apple device and ...let the music play!
LIRR Riders - After 3:00 you can check with the info desk to find out what track you'll be on before it's posted!
Buy your tickets well before you board your train and if you have to use the restroom...HOLD IT!
If you have to talk on your cell when on the train, make sure to do it on speakerphone - it will make everyone very happy.
Don't push. Merge into the gate like a zip. It's efficient & courteous, people.
Sarah CalandroMarch 21, 2013This place feels purposely uncomfortable & confusing. No place to sit or wait. Loads of people everywhere. & so much signage u can't find ur way. I dont look forward to future stops @ penn station
If you change your mind about the diet and want an Auntie Anne's pretzel, don't turn around- there's another one coming up less than 100 feet away. And yes, you will smell like it on the train.
Check out the Apple store on the second level.
Need a taxi without the wait? Find more of them without the wait at the 8th Ave/ 31st exit!
Alexis CampJuly 19, 2011Take the LIRR to Jamaica to catch the AirTrain to JFK. So much faster than the A and cheaper than a cab!
SamsoniteMay 3, 2011The 51-foot sculpture outside Penn Station was done by Jonathan Borofsky to complement the urban landscape.
The people who designed the NJT portion of the station should be punched in the face and then brought up on charges; in that order.
The Lost & Found only collects items Mon, Wed & Fri. Hours are 7:20am - 7:20pm
Gina IveyOctober 16, 2011Pay Close attention to the track number on your ticket not your train name or destination.
Want a free sauna... Go to the men's room in the waiting area! 8-)
Stay to the right on escalators if you are standing still. Or run the risk of being run over!
Don't get on the train if it's after 2:00 AM and you can still walk a straight line.
