The new hall at Penn Station looks like a big, welcoming improvement, but:
- it doesn't fix the serious capacity problems (esp the tunnels)
- it requires a longer walk to the 1, 2 or 3 trains, through the entire depressing length of the current station.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see a nice (if largely cosmetic) improvement, but until they add urgently needed capacity to the tunnels, rail travel into NYC is still going to be a mess.
That said, after 9 months of this pandemic, I'd practically kiss the ground of even the old Penn Station if I could travel again.
(I'd definitely wear a mask for that).
