Great!! Thanks for most helpful comment.
Following your clue, I’ve started to crisscross the penn stn. area. So far, no results.
I did meet couple of older Russian ladies, however, one of them – in reply to my inquiry - had hit me with a bottle of Smirnoff on my head, and the other offered me a roll of Charmin (the ultra soft).
Also, the doormen in this part of town could be very judgmental (and insulting).
I’ll keep my search tomorrow.
