I don’t know if this has been asked and answered before, but we’ll be coming out of the Moynihan station looking to go uptown. Do we have to cross the street to get a taxi in front of the old Penn Station, or can I stay on the Moynihan side and grab a cab? We’re going to Port Authority. Unless someone has an easier way to get to Middletown, NY? We are 2 seniors with luggage. So we’re looking for the easiest way. I know Mento North Port Jervis line goes there, but I can’t figure how to get to it.
As mentioned you can transfer easily at Secaucus Station to the Port Jervis Line for service to Middletown-Wallkill New York.
The station itself is in Wallkill, NY, not Middletown (the line that went through downtown Middletown was abandoned by Metro-North in 1983).

To board NJ Transit services you want to use the NJT concourse, at the "old" Penn Station, the NJT Concourse is near 7th Avenue.
The Monynihan Train Hall does not offer direct access to NJT trains, and NJT tickets are not valid for use of the Waiting Room at Moynihan.

PS. Before someone chimes in here, if you are in the Moynihan Hall, and mobility is not an issue, you can access NJT services by following the signs
for the LIRR, once on the LIRR concourse, walk towards 7th Avenue. From the area where the LIRR Ticket Windows are, turn right and you'll see the NJT
section of Penn Station.
