Nothing to see- just to pass by. I wouldn't recommend it as a sight , just if you have to pass by it. Too many people and its always confusing to find an exit from subway, because its mixed with the train station...Been there so many times and still struggle often to find an exit...

Penn Station is a functional hub, but it lacks any of the grandeur of the old Penn Station. One hopes that the new one, a work in progress for some time across the street, will bring back some of that last grandeur.

A city in itself! Under Madison Square Garden and in the center of it all. Make sure you ask for help if you need it. This place can be a bit confusing but you can get almost anywhere you need to go from here.

Some shady people hang inside the station. Just be aware of surroundings. Better off getting something to eat outside the station and stay in an open area. One person kept following me and other people around for money. It’s better than Newark.

Some parts of this building are majestic and some look like a foreign market. It is always crowded with plenty of foodbut very difficult to find seating.

Nothing amazing about it. Google images to see how amazing old Penn station was and you'll be amazed someone got a dumb idea to tear it down.
