How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The Division's headquarters, set up inside the great columned post office opposite Madison Square Garden after a pandemic empties Manhattan.
The real place
The game's wiki confirms the base is the James A. Farley Post Office on Eighth Avenue, completed in 1912 to designs by McKim, Mead and White. Its long colonnade carries the famous line 'Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night'. In 2021 the old mail sorting hall reopened as Moynihan Train Hall, a new concourse for Penn Station.
Visiting
Walk up the wide front steps on Eighth Avenue, then go inside Moynihan Train Hall to see its glass roof. It is open to anyone, not just passengers.
