Meh.
I am confused. I thought the Post Office conversion IS the new Penn Station. ??

No. Only a fraction of the Farley building is used for Penn Station space.

That's Moniyhan Hall r1. It's primary purpose is it gives a fancy waiting room for Amtrak, for tourists. All those NJ transit commuters who work and hang in the city are still using Penn Station.

I had no idea! 1.6 billion for an Amtrak station?? Sheesh. And that HOT PIECE killed himself over it.

Yep it is sad r4.
The guy and his boyfriend were a cute couple but the stress of managing that project killed him.

New Yorkers and their ghetto mentality will destroy it within 6 months. There’ll still be vagrants shooting up in the toilets, there will still be a shitty, ghetto Duane Reade, likely the first shop you’ll see. There will still be lazy, trashy New York City Schools-educated employees either hiding from work or going out of their way to make commuters absolutely miserable. There will still be hours long delays for trains. And that trendy and futuristic entrance from the outside? There will still be trashy newsstands flanking it, and hot dog vendors and black dudes hustling sightseeing tours or sketchy bus passes to JFK. It’s a sewer and I’m Glad I had the good sense to get the hell out of there five years ago.

R6 , you don't sound like a very patrician Park Avenue matron.

But all that shit exists in the shitty, depressing looking station r6. So I'd rather have that with a nicer looking station.

R6 now lives in Zurich? Monte Carlo? Singapore?

it’s a shithole unless/until they tear down or move Madison Square Garden.

They are doing a lot to keep Moniyhan "nice". There is no seating outside of the lounge (of course...), and if you try to just sit somewhere security will be on you in a heart beat telling you that you can only sit in the official lounge. Doing everything they can to keep the homeless out I guess.

R6 That's part of the charm of New York City, and why so many people flock to visit, and move here.
