    I agree with the bathrooms! Better off finding a dark corner outside Newark Penn than risking contracting a disease through the soles of your shoes!

    They need to get rid off all the nasty and smelly ass homeless people in here. They seriously reek. If you want dunkin donuts, go up the escalator by mcdonalds and there is two in the gateway building

    Come no more then 10 mins before your train. Not the safest area to be waiting. Druggies, drunks and beggars. Sad but can't help but to feel uneasy.

    If you miss your on-time train by 2 minutes you can be sure that the next one will be 15 minutes late.

    Good: Play the NJ lottery or buy a bottle of wine. Ferry St has good restaurants. Bad: This station is the worst to wait in late at nights. Last train into NY is around 1am. First train is 5:30.
