Newark Penn station is a wonderful place if you enjoy surly service, bad food, bland architecture and a steady stream of vagrants soliciting money from travelers.
The worst quality of this station - absolutely the worst - is the fact that they start to close it down after 11pm. Late arriving passengers are forced to use only one exit. It can seem very unsafe!
Wow. The people that leave tips about the homeless act as if they asked to.be here in this desperate state. Unless you're going to do something to help, kindly shut up!
There's almost absolutely no way of getting in and out of here without being asked for change. If you're too kind-hearted, walk fast & "don't speak English."
A totally unorganized mess if your not familiar with the station. If possible pack light, it was tough dragging luggage thru the terminal, upstairs and to tracks!
