Penn Station is probably the easiest place to get transportation in the western hemisphere. It’s maybe slightly annoying to get to certain places on the East Side, but that’s only relatively speaking. If you really don’t want to take the subway, there will in all likelihood be cabs waiting for you outside.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Punishingly Intricate
I always initially walk the wrong way on exiting Penn Station, it’s like an NYC tradition for me. But, yeah, like Tom says it’s super easy to get anywhere from there.

Oh, crap, time has passed and I need to do my appraisal today. It's only 6 bullet points, but that's more than I want to do
