What to Eat at Penn Station’s New Celeb-Chef Food Court

New York's food hall boom isn’t slowing down one bit—Anthony Bourdain is planning a 150,000-square-foot Asian night market at Pier 57, and just last Monday, The Pennsy, named after the Pennsylvania Railroad's old nickname, swung open its double glass doors atop Manhattan's Penn Station. Though it doesn’t feel like a destination in the same way that Gotham West Market did when it opened in far west Hell's Kitchen, the 8,000-square-foot, street-level space in the old Borders location is certainly exciting news for commuters in the area who've run out of lunch options.

The Pennsy is airy and industrial-looking, and includes a row of five restaurants and a soon-to-open bar. When the liquor license comes through, you’ll be able to dawdle with a few cans of beer or a giant glass of wine to help ease the general malaise associated with actually being above Penn Station.
