    the #1 thing I love about Moynihan Train Hall is that since it’s nicer than MSG’s Penn Station, everyone goes there instead, and I can get on the train faster from MSG hahaha

      Yeah I never minded the dingy MSG Penn Station too much personally. I’m usually transferring to or from the subway system anyway, which is obviously even more grimy and cramped.

      I really enjoy Moynihan from an architectural and urban design perspective, but on a practical level I barely pay attention to my surroundings anyway when I’m travelling by train. The main thing I’m thinking about is when is the next train and what stop I should get off/transfer.

        I’m similar. As a chronically late fuckup, I’m usually too busy sprinting for a gate to appreciate architecture 😂

        Though I quite enjoy seeing Moynihan when I exit the return Amtrak. It’s a really nice sight after staring at muddy farms and dead trees out the window in PA and run down buildings in NJ for ~2 hours lol
