PRIMARY THEATER · AS ANNOUNCED BY AWNY

The Penn District · Oct 5–8, 2026

AWNY 2026 exits Hudson Yards and consolidates around Penn 1, Penn 2, and Moynihan. Fewer trains. More stairs. Same overheard "post-cookie."
Lines serving Penn 1/2:123ACE

The 7 line still gets you here via Times Sq–42 St. LIRR & NJ Transit land you in Moynihan or Penn. The M34-SBS crosstown bus is faster than you think.
