34th Street: The Best of New York

The Late, Great Pennsylvania Station

Walking Tour

Where: Tours depart from the 34th Street Partnership's Tourist Information Kiosk in the Rotunda of Penn Station

When: The fourth Monday of each month at 12:30pm

What: The ghosts of Pennsylvania Station are resurrected by Lorraine B. Diehl, author of "The Late, Great Pennsylvania Station", as she draws from vintage photograhs and surviving remnants to tell the dramatic story of New York City's lost railroad station. The ninety-minute tour takes us from Pennsylvania Station's turn-of-the-century beginnings to the forces that brought about its destruction in the 1960s. Tours are sponsored by the 34th Street Partnership.
