The Moynihan Train Hall

Peter Rukavina

In June of 2013, Catherine, Oliver and I attended a site-specific theatre production, Manna-Hata, in the James Farley Post Office in New York City. In the intervening years, this post office, which was largely decommissioned when we were there, has been transformed into the Moynihan Train Hall, an extension of Penn Station across the street. It’s set to open on Friday.

I wonder if Moynihan is a New England spelling of what once may have been Murnahan or Monaghan? A friend in NYC was looking for Myrtle St and had to ask several locals before they discovered that, to New Yorkers, it was their Moytle Street.
