There’s still another KMart location inside Penn Station, accessible from the street or underground concourse level, closer to the Amtrak Rotunda and LIRR tracks. It’s at 34th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenue.

Marble Hill is quite a distance from NYU. There’s a closer Target Greatland in Jersey City, NJ near Hoboken Terminal, Holland Tunnel and Pavonia Newport (it’s easily accessible, minutes away with PATH train) - and the sales tax is just 3.5% because this location is in an Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ).

Oh, yes. Just take a quick trip on the train to Marble Hill. Practically walkable.

Target in Astor Place - NO WAY. We can already go on the 1 train uptown and it’s right off the train stop - Marble Hill.
KMart has a great selection and price point for everyone - and I love the Martha Stewart Everyday - line they have, would hate to see it go for another mega box store like Taerget.

Too bad it’s not Wal-Mart. I fucking love that place.

Kmart is perfect for those in case of emergency, last minute theme party buys. I found a powder blue track suit and dumb bells perfect for a grannies and trannies party (I was a Florida granny). I would be lost without Kmart

If the Target will be attached to the 6 train like the Kmart is I will never, ever make it to class on time.

Woo site redesign!
Also, I love the KMart. I have bough everything from coffee makers to trash cans to socks there, and even when it’s really busy, checkout never takes too long. One time my checkout lady even answered a question I had about a problem–both correctly and with a positive attitude! GO KMART MAYBE I WILL FIND LOVE AT YOUR STORE.

I was just in there because I had to get clothes hangers and folders and I waited in line for 15 minutes before I was checked out. Not because it was terribly busy, but because they are completely incompetent in there. Then when she was finished ringing me up she thrust the receipt at my so forcefully that the flailing ribbon of paper hit me in the face.

Target would be wonderful.

I disagree. I once bought a Hannah Montana towel from this Kmart for my best friend Leslie and it was the best purchase I have ever made.
