    Penn Station - Look at all the passengers with luggages!  The LIRR Concourse at Penn Station needs moving ramps for people with wheeled objects

    I pass through Penn Station whenever I take the LIRR. The LIRR Concourse in Penn Station looks…read morelike the terminal building of an airport because of the numerous digital departure boards, fast food restaurants and specialty shops, but unlike an airport, the Concourse has a limited number of open public seating and moving walkways. Penn Station was renovated to look like a luxury mall. I was impressed to see a boutique liquor store. It is called Penn Cellars, and they sell my favorite sparkling rosé--Hampton Water (by Jon Bon Jovi and Son)--refrigerated and at room temperature. The Concourse also has a boutique nail spa, a bagel cafe, a speciality chocolate shop and more. All that is nice, but there needs to be better operational integration. There ought to be moving walkways to transport passengers from the LIRR to the subway, buses, AMTRAK, and NJ Transit. I get out of breath sometimes, walking to where I need to go. Also, it would be nice to have staff guide and assist passengers to their connections, especially individuals with disabilities and heavy luggage. Penn Station will be undergoing a multibillion dollar renovation starting in 2027. I hope that the architects design a station that is more functional and efficient. Until that is done, Penn Station is basically a mediocre station for commuters.

    Celebrating its 115th birthday this year, Penn Station is decidedly not new--pan to the sections…read morethat look straight outta the late 60s--but to look on the brighter side at least part of the station looks better as of 2021! A welcome update if you ask most New Yorkers. Most recently renovated in 2020 to expand into the Farley Post Office building, this extensive transportation hub is situated between 7th and 9th Avenues, between 31st and 33rd Streets. To understand a little more on how this landmark fell from the general public's graces I delved into Penn's history: - built in 1910 to support the ambitious project led by Alexander Cassatt of the Pennsylvania Railroad company to connect Manhattan via under river tunnel to the vast railway network along the East Coast and Midwest. - designed by architect Charles McKim, the original structure was an immense Greco-Roman masterpiece modeled after St Peter's Basilica in Rome, with Doric columns wrapping around two city blocks, vaulted ceilings, a soaring glass dome, shopping arcade, mezzanines and massive waiting rooms with murals, friezes and sculptures. - peaked in 1945 at over 100 million annual passengers but but declined in volume and revenue through 1963 due to increases in automobile, airline and other public transit options, leading to the 1954 selling of air rights to sections above ground to Madison Square Garden. - demolished in 1963-66 with only the underground remnants and some sculptural elements saved, the station layout maintained separate concourses for Amtrak, NJ Transit (which operates the former PRR commuter lines from NJ), and the LIRR. The outdated design and crammed layout received much vitriolic denunciation and caused much traveler aggravation over the past several decades. - credited to senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, plans were hatched in the 1990s to build a newer version of a train hall, with two phases of construction that was finally completed by January 2021. This newer section, located between 8th and 9th Avenues, services Amtrak trains and includes a food hall, retail stores, and a glass roofed waiting lobby inspired by the past station's architecture. Don't forget to checkout the famous escalator with mural map of the surrounding NY metro area. Sooooo (yes with 5 Os) much nicer than the basement maze that is the section between 7th and 8th Avenues. Interesting fact: the only transit organization in business under the same name at Penn Station from inception to now is the MTA Long Island Railroad (LIRR).

That being said, despite all it's in-station transfer options for the J,N,R,Q,W,Z and 6 trains, can't think of when I've actually used this station to change trains. Also not sure how convenient it is for many since it's a giant labyrinth, plus it has extremely limited ADA-compliance. Accessibility improvements for the full station are on the way in the present prioritized Capital Plan. That being said, Canal Street Station's 1998 "Empress Voyage" tile mosaics around the station by China-born artist Bing Lee tie into the American merchant ship, Empress of China, which on a pioneer voyage returned in 1794 to the city with treasured trade cargo: silk, tea, porcelain. There's a full-wall mosaic displaying playful icons, but on platforms you'll find different Chinese symbols in stylized interlocked teapots. As elsewhere in Chinatown, there's bilingual signage - passengers can read the station's name as "Canal Street" or the Chinese character for Chinatown.

    Clean, functional, plus a great place for a photo op…read more Artistically, the installation ("A Gathering", 2001) by Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz transformed the Canal Street Station into a subterranean aviary with 174 bronze sculptures of grackles and blackbirds, and seven crows, perched on railings and gates. But keep your eyes open for other kinds of birds, too. Potential jailbirds. Because on 1/1/25, a 31-year-old man was stabbed in the arm and back while riding a southbound 6 train approaching Canal Street, and in 5/24, a 69-year-old man was attacked on the southbound R platform at Canal Street. The assailant placed the victim in a chokehold, punched him repeatedly, and robbed him before fleeing on foot. ​ In 3/24, a male individual reportedly threatened a female at the Canal Street subway station.

This is such a welcomed sight from coming into the older, darker Penn Station across the way. This new train station also has a food hall with a variety of food vendors, stores (including a Walgreens/Duane Reade), and a bar as well. There is a dedicated Amtrak lounge for first class ticket guests, and one for regular ticketed guests. All in all, this is my go to train depot when coming in and out of NYC by train.

I feel pretty good on commenting about the experience here. Overall though... Moynihan is big, it's spacious, it's bright. Outside, the architecture cannot be understated. Inside, it's beautiful. The modern upgrades it's gotten do not go unnoticed. Bathrooms are decent sized and always clean. Moynihan connects to Penn Station which is nice. The Food Hall is on the west side of the building, not too bad. Signs throughout the Train Hall help with directions for new travelers. Announcement for your rides can be overheard but it's best if you stay near the gates. There are ways to circumvent the long gate lines to get your preferred seat on the train, but I won't give away my secrets hehe. Note: if you have an early train (before 5am) you have to enter Moynihan through Penn Station which can definitely confuse new riders. My biggest gripe is their lack of seating. This isn't a new thing, it's been known. Passengers and visitors rely on the floor for rest. There is a boarding seating area for paying passengers but it gets full quickly, and it's tucked away which disallows users to use the benefits of the new Train Hall. Passengers can find seating in the Food Hall as well, but it's not the same thing as a few benches near the gate entrances.

    Not for the terminal, but for the UBER shuttle service that meets here…read more Amazing to be able to take an UBER shuttle directly from this location in Brooklyn to LaGuardia. Even more amazing, it was just $25 for two riders for almost door to door service. Perfect when you are moving books, kitchen supplies and clothes from Brooklyn back to Houston while Southwest Airlines still has two bags for free. (This changes tomorrow!) Book the shuttle on the UBER app. Pick up is at the corner near the Atlantic Terminal. Scan the QR code and then you are on your way. So easy and so convenient. While we were waiting, we met a lady also waiting for the UBER airport shuttle. For one rider, it is just $15. What a bargain!

    Well here we go again.. cue "Jaws" theme: Dunnn Dunnn Dunnn…read more. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse... I purchased a round trip ticket on July 23rd from Atlantic Terminal to Long Beach. Today is the first time I used this ticket.. why? .. as you know from previous review there is no L.I.R.R. from Atlantic Terminal to Jamaica from 7.23-8.18. I board the 8:46 am train at Atlantic, the train employee punches my ticket, walks away with my ticket to talk to a colleague and then hands it back to me. I didn't inspect it and put it back in my wallet. Now, fast forward to catching the 2:52 pm train from Long Beach to Atlantic Terminal. The conductor proceeds to tell me that "your ticket has already been punched to Atlantic Terminal." I explained to her all of the above. She looks at me weirdly and says " Good luck going back on your next stop." Wow, great customer service! As if a L.I.R.R. staff member couldn't possibly make a mistake????? Okay folks, this is almost the straw that is going to break my back: -Stopping beach travel on the weekends at the height of summer -Forcing Brooklynites to travel further to Penn Station just to catch a L.I.R.R. - Accusing me of utilizing a " used ticket" I do not know how much worse this can get but I'm sure you will see another bad review next week. Just BEWARE and pay attention to how your tickets are being " punched" MTA, not going my way!
