Amazon may have bid farewell to Queens, but it still “hearts†the Big Apple.

The tech giant has been in talks with owners of two shiny new skyscrapers located just one block west of Penn Station — the newly built One Manhattan West and its soon-to-be sister project, Two Manhattan West, sources tell The Post.
The online retailer is seeking “at least 100,000 square feet or much more†— just to start, one well-placed source said.
