Amtrak Metropolitan Lounge

Inside Amtrak's Fancy New Acela Lounge in New York City

"Inside the new Metropolitan Lounge, located in the new Moynihan Train Hall across from Penn Station, there will be updated seating with USB ports and plenty of outlets, a business center for those looking to sneak in a last- minute call, and dedicated customer service agents so you don't have to join the plebes if something goes wrong. Even better? Passengers will also get priority boarding, and escorted to the train early. While we don't have specifics about what will be served, food and drink-wise, there will be a 'rotating selection of hot and cold food items' (an improvement on the current chips and pastries) and booze in the new lounge, Amtrak says. Set 20 feet above the central hall, the premium lounge also gives you a prime people-watching spot."
