MEETUP LOCATION
New this year, Anime NYC’s Cosplay Meetups are moving! Instead of being held in the River Pavilion, our Meetups are now at the front of the Javits Center’s main lobby – the Crystal Palace. This is a bigger space with more natural light, and we’re excited for cosplay to take it over all three days!
