Centerplate@ the Jacob Javitts Center,New York Reviews

Seriously, needs better food and better facilities.

not enough seats, can't service coffee or food fast enough. It has to be the hardest, coldest, unfriendly place to go.

nyc comic con. Definitely a lot of space and easy to get around but food is way expensive and waiting by the food trucks was a bit unsafe but overall pretty good

A very large place for any type of event, highlights the great crystal finishes.

I had a blast at the Jacob Javits Center. The auto show was impressive and the crew were awesome! I'm coming back next year.

Wow...Amazing Place to Find Out About the Futuristic Cars, Latest Technology, News Trends Etc...

I ve been going to the Javits center for about 4 years in a row now for comic con. Always have the best time

Lots of space, just wished they kept it open later after con

50 yrs I never disappointed in the car shows everything from Ford 500 to Ferrari F40 to Nissan GTR

Hard to review a place like this because it is essentially a shell for any event you can imagine. Very spacious plenty of transport nearby food and drink venues some knick knack shops. The design and architecture alone is something to see you can spend a lot of time just with your eyes on the ceiling.

Great architecture. Come here every year for Comic Con. Came once for BookCon. Always well organized.

INSANITY...but wow can this place pack a punch for conventions.

Beautiful site. Attended a graduate ceremony there. It is huge

Huge building. How great it is depends on why your going.

spacious, modern, and a multi-purposeful. I came here on several occasions: once for a college fair, and once for comic con.the multi-level architecture is perfectly conducive to large groups of people, or intimate meeting. It is slightly hard to park, though.

Have been to three events at this location. Each time the amount of space inside was utilized perfectly. However the main entrance seems to get very stuffy sometimes with it being a full glass box. The lower levels provide spacious access for panels or large exhibits. I heard heard of an expansion project which I look forward to seeing what comes from that. Easy access with a 15 minute walk from Penn Station in NYC.

God the food here is terrible. Inedible. Taxi lines too long. Folks should know they can walk a single block and grab any taxi. Ride share options are not available, but, again, walk a block and you re good to go. Building renovation is outstanding. The Javits will always be a great convention center, but one can see why big conventions stay away. Amenities do matter these days.

I'm usually here twice a year for trade shows. From an exhibitor's standpoint, Javits is a strong union hall, so be prepared to deal with union regulations at every turn. If you play the game, the show labor is efficient and helpful. Management is available and easy to reach. As well run as any hall in the chaotic pre- and post-event days.

The hall itself has all the amenities you'd expect, and the high prices you'd expect as well. Decent food court on the bottom floor. FedEx on site, but be prepared to pay a premium if you utilize it. The hall is generally clean and well kept. The area around Javits is improving, and there are some decent hotel and restaurant choices within easy walking distance of the hall.

Be aware that not all amenities are open unless a show is actively underway in the hall. You may have to make other food arrangements on set-up and take-down days.

Always fun events. I attend the vision expo every year but I've also been to the auto show and comicon. The place is massive!!

Nycc2018 was amazing!!!! Venue was great and ac made sure that it didn't get overheated.

Great place to host comic con, lots of space. However, I wish there were better restaurants around the area. Still a great place to visit though and have fun around

Awesome! Went here for Dragcon and loved it! Very spacious and tidy--not to mention the event was amazing!

Great place if you are visiting a show. Worst place ever if you are trucker loading/ dropping off freight. Truck entrance is on 12 th ave

It was clean, bathrooms were impeccable and they allowed or women's group to use all the men's bathrooms. The staff was very nice. The chairs were comfortable enough and the carpet felt good. I wish the floor were on an incline for better viewing. Good in the food court was good.

Very nice convention center. But not near many sleeves of food.

I was so happy that Comic Con was in New York. I went to Gears of War table screaming like a teen, I was looking for Assassin s Creed but it was so big I couldn t find it; I am not even sure if there was a booth for that. I had a ticket for one day and I went to a line for 20 mins to spin a wheel to get some gifts but a lady said if you don t have a golden ticket come back tomorrow It s ok it was a great experience, but really difficult to walk around.

Great venue, but could have better signage for the mad uber rush post show. Other than that, many restaurants and shops to get you through a tradeshow.

Great open space for doing activities that are set up. The food in the various food courts are also amazing and priced a little high but that's to be expected

The venue is still good but it's getting to small for major eve tshirts like comic con

Ordinary convention center. The only reason to go there is if you are attending a show. Otherwise, nothing to see.

Huge space with a number of conferences going on at same time. Always find it pleasant for International Media Marketplace

Place is huge, wish it didnt have so many confusing levels

Too crowded. Don't go for auto show if you want to enjoy a weekend show, at least not the regular ticket. Get the one with early entrance. Too many people are just trying to shove and take photos and sometimes they can be angry at you for any reason. There was not even a map! I have seen better fairs in third world countries.

ICFF goes down each year with new and edgy interior design showroom

I attended an AWS Conference here. Very nice venue.

Really nice center ! I have done an exam there, pretty good. And you have 2 Starbucks inside :)

I've gone here for Comic-Con twice and I have also been there for auto shows . You don't realize how large this place is until you spend 10 hours walking around and still feel like you missed things . Always seems to be well managed and organized despite the copius amounts of people that go there. I liked the addition of food trucks at comic Con for 2019 will definitely be going again for the next event that catches my interest

Very nice convention center was here for Anime NYC. Also great service for vendors.

We were here for an industry trade show as we are every year...this year they had no concessions open except for 1 Starbucks and some sort of sandwich shop and a Hudson News stand. The place, overall was a ghost town, so sad....

Excellent The Convention Center, very clean, organized, fast attention. You can leave quickly and take any train or bus line. It is easily accessible and nearby there are many restaurants.

NY Times Travel Show, great crowd. My complaint about the venue is that the cabs have to drop and pick up far from the events and the doors at the end of the building near the taxi stand are not always open so you have a long hike in the cold and rain or snow.

Excellent place for large exhibitions. It is easy to arrive by subway.

As a visitor, it's Sla super large space and somewhat difficult to navigate. As a vendor they're problematic cause security and the unions can make the simplest task a production.

It's a huge convention center in Hudson Yards. There is a new Starbucks opened here. A lot of things happening simultaneously everyday in auditoriums and other places, which is exciting.

ComicCon 2018
Great event. Good food and beer options. Full of vendors of all kinds. Make sure you're ok with crowds and lines, especially for the bathroom. Overall I hope to attend next year.

Went for Comic Con! Great vendors and appearances; however, the place was really really crowded. I am shocked they still had people buy more badges. I feel like they had enough space to space out the vendors (since they do have multiple levels). Food options and prices were typical. Location is a good spot (took the subway) and heard parking isn't so bad around the area.

Excellent venue. Professional staff across the board, from tradesmen and women to cleaning staff

This venue, although [somewhat] spacious, has outgrown its architecture. Space is okay, not too many places to eat in this area of Manhattan and the interior does not offer a fair amount of shops. This is an 'okay' venue but it is situated at a location where the surrounding area is speedily growing faster than any other area in Manhattan. Not so easy to get to, for now, but I can see new transportation hubs getting closer toward eleventh Avenue in the coming years.

Large and easy to navigate. Plenty of food and beverage vendors.

Oh my god! Loading into this place is an exercise in stupid. I could not use a 4 wheel cart. The reason was either according to the brass ... union related (but we had already paid the union) ... they were just going to take 4 hours to get to my small car. If this is the reason then they get paid for me to do their job cause they are really slow at it. Or alternatively the according to the union, an issue with protecting the floors ... which is stupid cause 4 wheel carts distribute weight better than 2 wheel carts. Soo the beurocratic idiocy is strong with this one!

This place is ugly, not smartly designed and dated. needs a refurb! also food and beverage services inside are non-existent....and should develop some restaurants and bars nearby. hate going here.

One of the best convention centers I've been to. Great food options great layout. No matter how big the event it fits perfectly. Bathroom situation could be better. Have been to 3 events this year alone and each was different. Looks like there is construction hopefully they are adding more space.

Been here for the toy show. This is a very large event place.

This place is so huge! Attended NYCC and Anime NYC here. Can meet some awesome artists and vendors here. Also, make me friends & contacts at these events. Check it even if you're not sure you'd like it, start small like Anime NYC con.

An amazing place! Huge! Depends on the type of convention!

Best place to attend any conference - both Technology and fun ones!
