Very good bagels sold on the New York bound side in the AM (along with coffee and other breakfast goods). Try the Jalapeño cheese bagel. This Jew has been converted to its glory!
Track 5 is on the Westchester side, to the left when you exit the parking garage/indoor waiting area. It's short and tucked in beside the building; you have to step out onto the platform to see it.
Check out the digital sign called StopTips, located in the station cafe! It gives you accurate train times and local area tips! To get more info on StopTips check out Facebook and twitter! @stoptips
It's not that bad here. Keep an eye on tracks when stopping here due to a transfer, they can get confusing in a rush. On a cold or hot day, it can be packed inside the station because it's pretty tiny
John is the guy who runs the train stationcoffee shop. the two women who work there are great, but John is a half-azz business owner who doesn't really care about the customers.
Be aware of track changes. There are flat panel TVs inside that show the next few trains leaving (destination, time it's leaving & the track number). Odd number tracks are on one side, even the other.
The track sign arrows on the tracks are counter-intuitive. Track 5 appears to point at the track you're on but it really means you have to go back inside and underground. It's totally offed up.
The machines that process the daily parking tickets are notoriously unreliable. Best bet is to pay for your ticket in the morning (if you have time). I've found the reliability degrade at night.
If it's late or not crowded when i leave, i bank on the ticket machine the gate not working and get my parking for free once i call the attendant & wait a few minutes. it's about 50/50
Sadly, the surrounding neighborhood is rough. Luckily it's well lit, but never has much of a police presence. . . Even though the station is so close by.
