“First time at the Javits Center, here for New York Comic Con. It's on the far west side of Midtown by the river, near Hudson Yards, so it's a bit out of the way. From Penn Station it was easy for us though. We just took the M34 crosstown bus along 34th Street. The building is really well designed. It's basically NYC's version of the big convention center you'd find in other major cities. It's huge and spacious, and since it's in a less crowded part of Manh…”
“Javitz Center is trade show central! I love going to a show here for the info received . The lobby area is big and looks sterile though. There should be more personality and options for amenities inside. The exterior is always kept up nice. Its great for events and trade shows and can hold a good capacity of people.”

Food accessibility was convenient all things considered. Hey Javits.. it would be MUCH APPRECIATED if you can put some seating around.. The place is GIANT and one gets tired walking all day.. w We need seats to sit and take a comfortable break.. Having to sit on the …”
“I visited the Javits Center yesterday for a Yom Kippur service, and once again I was impressed by what a great venue this is. I’ve been here several times before for different events, and the space works incredibly well for large gatherings. The building is huge, modern, well organized, and very impressive when you walk inside. Even with a large number of people attending, there is plenty of room and the overall experience feels comfortable and well manage…”
“Fun Auto Show with test driving track. Not too crowded plus you can purchase tickets online. Saw some dancing robots too. Easy access bathrooms and snacks for purchase. Lots of taxis outside.”
