Mostly likely there will be. There's already a coffee shop open, I didn't pay attention enough to see what it was, but don't think it was a Starbucks. The food hall itself isn't scheduled to be open until the fall (and with the ongoing pandemic, it's just as well). But I think some of the retail in the train hall itself will open sooner. I already saw a Magnolia Bakery that looks like it will open soon down on the main floor. They make good stuff.
But yeah, the place is busier, there's a buzz around, like everyone is excited for the place. Or maybe everyone's just been locked inside for too long. People were even stopping to check out the renderings of coming stores and restaurants. Even at the east end, with the new 7th Avenue entrance, there was a buzz. Something for the people to get excited about in these times.
I took a few clips, and more pics on Day 2 of the opening...

You can already see the station filling out more...

Made it over to the 33rd Street entrance today, and I hadn't realized before the difference in grade between 33rd and 31st Street. So the mid-block passage, which you have to go up a level to reach from the 31st Street side, is at street level on the 33rd Street side. This is where you will get into more retail, and make your way to the food hall, and 9th Avenue.

Meanwhile, over on the east end, the new 7th Avenue entrance to Penn is open, generating it's own buzz...
