Over the past 10 years, improvements both monumental (Moynihan Train Hall) and incremental (lots of new and improved street entrances) by Vornado Realty Trust, the MTA, Amtrak, the LIRR and New Jersey Transit have made the sprawling complex more attractive and navigable than it's ever been. The perception that Penn Station is merely a labyrinth of squalor is outdated as it has seen significant infrastructural enhancements that deserve recognition.
It's almost perverse for a New Yorker to say he or she doesn't hate Penn Station. So ingrained in our local psyche is the perception of it as a labyrinth of squalor, saying that one likes it is tantamount to expressing glee that the Dodgers and Giants moved to California. This mindset reflects the challenging balance of nostalgia and modern urban realities that underline the complex's reputation.
