Emerging from the underground


Arriving in Penn Station is like finding yourself inside an ant hill. People swarming in all directions, all clearly knowing where they are going – crossing paths, moving quickly up stairs, disappearing down into tunnels, not slowing even when the escalators aren’t running and more coming all the time.
We emerged from the train into the daylight and were welcomed with our first shock of a Manhattan street. Thirty-fourth Street is mid-way up Manhattan and the traffic, noise, smells and people tell you, you’ve arrived.
