If you have places to go, this New York office space gives you access to one of the city’s busiest transit hubs. Penn Station is the terminal for Amtrak and New Jersey Transits trains, of course, so it’s a magnet for commuters. You also can step onto the A, C, E, 1, 2, and 3 trains traveling up and down the island. Add in nearby parking garages and proximity to the Lincoln Tunnel, and you have an unbeatable location.
But these eight levels of coworking space in a 17-story Art Deco building are also beautiful, with lots of original art (especially the colorful mural by artist Jason Woodside). The members here, who cover every type of business but lean toward the tech fields, gravitate to the expansive common area on the 10th floor when they are looking to chat with clients or huddle with their team. It’s a dog-friendly space, so bring along your four-legged friend. Madison Square Garden is nearby, meaning you have don’t have to go far to enjoy a game with the Knicks or the Rangers. Big-name musicians also play here, as well as nearby Hammerstein Ballroom. For an office space that’s in the middle of it all, head to Penn Station.
The compound has multiple lounges that are living-room-style spaces designed for creativity, comfort, and productivity
The compound is located near restaurants, bars & coffee shops

To the full article at Architectural digestI worked at WeWork Penn Station for roughly a year and a half, and it was a pleasurable experience. WeWork locations typically have similar culture and design, which are generally quite trendy and aesthetically pleasing. Of course prospective companies are going to want to rent from WeWork that are more conveniently located for their endeavors, but if all is held equal, the customer service experience you will get at WeWork - Penn Station is unrivaled. Bianca and Derrick, specifically, were there each morning to greet you, answer any questions, and go out of their ways to ensure you and your company are having a great experience. They do this with smiles on their faces. Even in the face of adversity, when we were having prolonged issues with the elevators, Bianca, Derrick and the whole staff remained positive and candor with the progress of the fix. In summary, coming to the office each day was a breeze, knowing I'd be entering into an upbeat, high-energy, positive atmosphere, created and maintained by Bianca, Derrick and the staff.
The most pleasurable place to work. I am so grateful to work here. Everyone who works here is supportive, hardworking, thoughtful and friendly. My team includes Kyle, Joel, Shir-el, Bianca , Joseph and Derrick the best !!!! Also Austen thank you and I will miss you ! Good luck in your new position. We work I love what I do even more working here
This location has been serving as my office since 9/1. I initially chose it primarily due to the convenient location. However I've been pleasantly surprised by the amenities, the sense of community, the engagement of the staff and the cool vibe. I can definitely recommend it.
Currently working at the Penn Station WeWork, and it's fabulous! Every floor has a super chic design, and the weekly happy hours are a great way to network, or just relax at the end of the week. The staff here are all incredibly helpful, friendly, and just fabulous all around (Shout out to Derrick, Bianca, Shir-el, and Austin!) All in all, its just a great place for a start up or small company, with a variety of office sizes, and conference rooms for different needs, and a great vibe. You can't go wrong here!
I love the staff in this building. Particularly Derrick, he is very attentive, friendly and efficient at getting everything handled quickly! Shoutout to Bianca as well, she is super friendly, always helpful and had me feel at home when I first moved into this building. I am here over 1 year and she is now even more awesome
