Penn Station has a whole underground of stores and fast food-eateries. Clothing shops, souveniers, etc.
Some buses may stop outside/near Penn Station that go to Philly, PA or other places, like Mega Bus or Bolt Bus.
I believe these buses have free WIFI. |

NYCAirporter service shuttles you to your Manhattan hotel between 23rd St and 63rd which is free service from GSC only.
The NYCAirporter shuttles to/from JFK, Newark & LaGuardia Airports (for a fraction of what a cab will cost you). These shuttle buses are wheelchair accessible with a ramp that opens from the front entrance. Free WIFI. NYCAirporter

On very cold days, I like cutting through GCS. I go in
at 42nd st., across and up the escalator, through another
building to get to East 45th st. :-) |
