Really? Is NYC that dangerous only those who seek
and follow your directions survive?
Now you're reviving yet another stereotype.
Are you genuinely interested in assisting visitors
or discouraging them?

Again. Please review my participation on this thread.
If you had posted your consummately accurate advice
in the first place, we would not be having this
conversation as I would not have bothered to
join the thread.
Please note that I advised the original poster
to do a web search for Manhattan Mall.
Said search would give him what he asked for:
A map indicating the exact location of Penn Station.
Whether I said under or beside is hairsplitting,
particularly given the fact that your fellow
New Yorkers tend to refer to the 33rd St PATH stop
as Penn Station.
