Thanks!

So on those days, you travel from home via Penn Station to UES, then
to 23rd? The first trip is non-deductible commuting. (If you work at
Penn Station, all trips between there and other workplaces are
deductible.)

It's from home to workplace.

Station to 23rd Str and First AVe. Sometimes I have to first go to the
upper East Side, and I take the subway to get there. When I have to go to
23rd & First, I get reimbursed the taxifare for that leg of my travels.

Is the trip to the different location travel from home to workplace, or
should I ask for reimbursement of the subway fare, or declare it as travel
costs?

It is more a question about the principles involved, than real money, since
I don't have enough expenses to get above the (how much) % AGI for itemized
deductions anyway.

A friend of mine accepted a retail management job with a nationwide
company. By nature of the business, she initially had no "regular"
work location assignment.

She was assigned to a temporary work location outside the metropolitan
area of her tax home (55 mi away). After less than 1 yr, she accepted
a permanent job at another location. Due to her work schedule/shift
work, etc., she would spend about 2 nights a week at her mothers home
near the temporary work location.

Question: Can she claim travel expenses for period of time she had a)
no permanent work location, b) traveled regularly to a temporary work
location that was c) outside her metropolitan area?
