Expecting a crowded Metro North train? Check for cars *behind* the stairs/ramp - they're likely to be empty, even if the cars towards the front of the train are packed.

The area over by tracks 36 to 42 is never crowded even during rush hour. The Biltmore Room has a flower stand, large shoe shine station & news stand. Lines for the ticket machines tend to be shorter.
