		In Penn Station, as you leave rush-hour madness on Seventh Avenue to clatter downstairs on staccato heels, bound for New Jersey, there to herald you are piccolo trumpets.
		This is a railroad station so commodious and gradual that you may walk from your platform to the street without once encountering a step.
		As a result the station platforms are unusually deep, reachable only by steep staircases or escalators.
