Why store your bags near Penn Station
Penn Station sits beneath Madison Square Garden between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, and it's one of the city's busiest transit hubs. Many travellers arrive hours before hotel check-in, check out long before an evening train, or come straight from the station to a game or concert at the Garden. Large bags are generally not welcome at big arenas, so check the venue's bag policy before you go. Rather than dragging a suitcase through crowded Midtown streets, leave it with a staffed partner nearby and pick it up on your way back to the platform.
