And this train station's got a couple entrances. Here's one on 8th Avenue and West 31st Street. That's the entrance I like to go in. And right across the street is Madison Square Garden. And it's a beautiful day in New York. You can see up and down these streets. Let's just take a walk here and show you what it's all about, New York City. Down here's a pizza station.

The gyro place. They got all kinds of stuff, too. Chicken gyros, falafel. Man, cheeseburgers, cheesesteaks right here at Penn Station. There's another food cart along here. That's two brothers. There's a long view of how big you can see this train station is. Of course, it goes underground. I look over there. Four-boy, 99-cent pizza. I might question the quality of that. There's a lot of people in New York today. It's around Christmas time, so that's why we're seeing all these people. And like I said, we're on 8th Avenue and 33rd Street. Or 31st Street. There's a couple entrances to the train station. But you know what? You've seen enough of New York. Let's take you in and show you my secret. Let's just get in the train station here. There's the one at the entrance. On 33rd and 8th Street. There's a couple. Oh, this is cool. 1910 Penn Station. This is a little bit of the history of how it came about. But I like what this says. In the old time, you arrived at Pennsylvania Station at the train platform. You went up to the stairs to heaven. Oh, and they got a Starbucks right inside the door. Oh, and if you don't want to walk outside, they got a pizza place right here. It's called Sauce Pizzeria. It's highly rated, too. Look how thin that pizza is. That is true New York. I've never seen pizza that thin. It's like paper. Look at that. You like thin crust? This might be the place to come. Look, there's a ramen place, but let me tell you. This place here is no joke. I come here every time when I'm in Penn Station. Jacob's Pickles. The biggest chicken sandwich you will ever have. One person cannot eat it. It's a two-people sandwich. Oh, and I love this bar. Look at the size of this bar in here. And this thing moves just like an authentic train station. Look at all this. And I'm going to show you there's another side to this. Look, there's a chopped salad place. There's a sushi place. And here's a burger joint. And this is not even all of the food. They got more on the second level. Does this place have everything or what? There's that bar I told you about. But let me tell you. If you get hungry when you're getting back to this train station, or whether you're leaving, there's plenty of places to eat for sure in here. And like I said, there's a whole other level. But I ain't got time for that today. Let's just get to that secret. Oh, and they got a great selection of top shelf stuff there. There's the pastrami queen. They must make sandwiches here. I'm guessing. Oh, and look. If you're leaving on a cruise and you forgot something and you're leaving from Moynihan or Penn Station, they got a Walgreens. A super-sized Walgreens right inside. Alright, this place is very famous at the train station. It's called H&H Bagel. You see all the bagels they got back there? There will be a line here all day long. And if you come to Penn Station or Moynihan train hall, I know I keep switching around just to confuse you, but it's one and the same. You gotta come up to where the actual trains leave from. If you're coming in on a train, you're gonna be maybe on the lower level. But you gotta come up here and see what this looks like. It's beautiful and clean. I tell ya, I've never seen anything like it in New York. But look up there. It's got a glass roof. And you can set your watch by this clock. Alright, let me try and do a 360 just to show you what we're talking about in here and how big it really is. And they got these massive screens pretty much the whole way around. And there's one of the gates you can see, 11 through 12. You wait for them to call your gate. But not with the tip I'm gonna give ya. You don't wait in line. Alright, back there is where that food area I just showed you. But this is another tip. Because if you're not really looking for it, you might miss it. They got a waiting area back here. If you get here early, like I always do, because I don't wanna miss the train, they got a waiting area that you'll need a ticket to get in to be able to wait. You can see it back here. This is the waiting area. You just show them your ticket and they got seats, they got charging stations. This is the waiting area you got over here. You got chargers even under the seats. And here they got a bench you can plug into. Back here they got a restroom. Alright, this is the secret. He's taking our bags and we're following up to the train station here. The secret way. Lancaster. There we are, waiting with our luggage for the train. And the gang's all here. They take you way ahead of everybody else. So this was nice, especially if you're traveling with the group. We'll find out when we ask it on 665. What's that 636? You better ask it. 11 years. Oh, these are roomy up here, huh? Now, make sure you're using the porter because you can see, look at all these empty seats here. We're the first one on. But I hope you like this video. We're getting back to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I tell you one thing, the porter service is great. Just make sure you're tipping these guys because really you're paying for priority seating this way. And that's it.
