what are things to do at penn station new york?

Answer 1

As someone who is in Penn Station every single day I can safely say that there is absolutely nothing to do there- of interest. There are number of chains, though. There's a Starbucks, MacDonald's, Dunkin Donuts and various other places that sell fattening foods to the masses. There's also a restaurant downstairs by LIRR and the 1, 2 and 3 subway lines whose name escapes me at the moment- but I've heard it's pretty good.

There are a couple of Hudson Newses, which is a bookstore chain. If you want to have fun, hover by the tabloids and make the guy watching over them nervous. There's also a Duane Reade, a Staples, a Perfumemania and a place that sells multitudes of hideous socks.

Right outside of Penn Station there is a Borders, H&M, Macy's, Old Navy, Sephora, etc. There's also a restaurant called the Stage Door Deli that makes awesome turkey wraps.

Answer 2

Why on Earth would you want to hang out in Penn Station? There are a few places to eat, a couple of bars and a lot of little food stands, a few shops and normally large crowds of people pushing their way through to get to their trains or subways. I'd recommend leaving Penn Station and seeing the city though.

Answer 3

Things to do at Penn Station? Nothing. Lots of crappy places to eat. There are a few magazines and book stores and some other shops. If you have a long layover, you could go to Macy's across the street...But in general, its best to leave Penn Station as soon as you arrive!
