Continuing on the 1\/2\/3 line for now, 34th Street advertises itself as connecting to Penn Station, but I\u2019ve always found the A\/C\/E train over on 8th Avenue to be the more convenient station. Despite the signage here, you\u2019ll be trekking underground for some ways to get into the station itself. Of course, convenience is a matter of degree, and if your coming from somewhere that is along this train line, this station does provide that connection.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of nice tiled sign work in this station, mostly emphasizing the Penn station connection, as well as some raven-related pure artwork. The art itself is part of a collection called \u201cA Bird\u2019s Life\u201d by Elizabeth Grajales, and the description I could find only indicates that it depicts birds nurturing their young. Yet again, I feel like there is something distinctly lacking in the explanation for why these particular panels were chosen for this particular station.<\/p>\n
