“A bar in a train station has an inherently purgatorial energy, but, against all odds, the Bar at Moynihan, in the new train hall that feeds into Pennsylvania Station, is convincing New Yorkers to treat it as a destination rather than a stopover.” https://t.co/urXI4KR6W0

Last week's @lawandordertv SVU episode demonstrated the need to protect the privacy of sexual assault victims & their DNA.
