- Carry food for the trip – the food on Amtrak is bad. If you arrive peckish at Moynihan, you have decent options in the station itself
but, of course, the culinary splendors of NY await you outside.
- You escape by the skin of your teeth having me offer to meet you and your friend for a drink or something. I was in NYC all week this past week, but am traveling back to Cambridge right now. On Monday evening I Amtrak to NY. On Tuesday evening it’s back to Cambridge. Wednesday evening → NYC. Thursday evening … you get the drift.
ETA: When you emerge from the train the escalators to Moynihan are near the very front of the train. Those to the old Penn Station are closer to the back. If you haven’t seen Moynihan train hall it’s worth a look.
