Here are some great shots of the interior of Manhattan's Main Post Office Building on 8th Avenue. I never realized that most of it was empty. They are converting it to be a part of Penn Station.

Interesting. I've never actually been inside the building. I often see them shooting L&O courtoom steps scenes outside of it on the way to work though.

It's going to be so beautiful when it's done. And New York City will have Grand Central and Penn Station to be proud of again.

Thank you, Jackie Onassis.

Yes, to think Grand Central almost met the same fate as the old Penn Station is quite frightening. Ms. Onasis did NYC a huge favor in championing the restoration of Grand Central and warding off the wrecking ball! One of her many gifts to NYC.

A bit of history on Penn Station, and a chance to share your experience and/or opinion. I obviously don't have a lot of experience being an out-of-towner, but I have used it when I'm in the city, and never had any problems at all.

Look what we lost. I join Pal Joey in his thanks to Jackie O - were it not for her, Grand Central would have surely followed. At least there's a little of the grandeur of Penn Station left.
