Pro tip
Take the train, then get to your seat early just to watch the bowl fill from the top down – it’s like time‑lapse engineering.

My take
The building’s a zoning diagram fever dream sitting on top of a train station we definitely shouldn’t have demolished, but when the lights cut and the court glows, you forget every rant you ever had about Penn Station.
