My wife and I have taken the Lake Shore Limited (Train 49) west, from ROC (Rochester, NY) to CHI several times, bound for places west and south, We're planning a couple of trips east and south now, but we've never been in the NYP station. We're going to take a quick trip east from ROC to NYP on the LSL (train 48), just to check out the station, and the Pennyslvania Hotel just across the street from the NYP station.
I was talking to one of my technicians today about the NYP station, and she told me about a hotdog vendor very near the 42nd St entrance to NYP, and said that that's a "must do."
Does anybody have a favorite place around the station? We'll only overnight at the Pennyslvana Hotel. That way (assuming both trains are traveling on time) we'll have some time upon arriving [6:25 PM] to look around, stay in the hotel overnight, then scope out the station, its surrounding area, visit that hotdog vendor around noon, and then get to the Acela lounge (yes, we're going in a bedroom) and then board the train [3:15 PM] back to ROC.
