AMNY: Penn Station Gets Rowdy After Midnight, Grand Central and Port Authority: Not So Much

September 18th, 2008 by Chris (Admin) · No Comments


As a Metro-North rider I can confess to several a late-night drunken rush for the last train out of Gotham.

And yes, I will confess to making the semi-conscious decision to miss the 1:53 AM out of Grand Central on more than one occasion, and sorrowfully, shamefully watching the sun come up over the Harlem 125th St. platform at 5:45 AM (Tip: If there is a chance of dawn breaking, depart from the dark bowels of Grand Central).

But Grand Central isn’t really a rowdy place late-night - yeah a lot of the riders are tipsy, but it still feels like slinking through your high school library after downing a six-pack of Natty Ice in the parking lot.

AMNY confirms that Grand Central and Port Authority after dark host amateur hours compared to the drunken, vomiting, brawling bridge-and-tunnel crowd seeking its late night Escape From New York via Penn Station.

My favorite relatable quote:

God forbid you miss the 3:19. You’ll be contemplating all the wrong directions you took throughout the night and your life…
