The Moynihan Train Hall is housed in the historic James A. Farley Post Office Building, which was built in 1912 and served as the main post office for New York City for decades.
The train hall is named in honor of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a former U.S. Senator from New York who championed the project for many years.
The hall boasts a 92-foot-high skylight made of 500 glass panels, flooding the space with natural light and creating a stunning architectural feature.
The train hall serves as an extension of Penn Station, providing additional space and amenities for Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road passengers.
The hall features permanent art installations by renowned artists such as Kehinde Wiley and Elmgreen & Dragset, enhancing the cultural experience for travelers.
After years of planning and construction, the Moynihan Train Hall officially opened to the public on January 1, 2021, marking a new era for New York's rail travel.
The transformation of the James A. Farley Building into the Moynihan Train Hall was a $1.6 billion project, funded through a combination of public and private investments.
The train hall features a food hall with a variety of dining options, offering travelers a taste of New York's diverse culinary scene.
