After Dark
Where? Side Quest in Hall 1E and Level 4 Panel Rooms in Javits North
When? All weekend!
Thursday, Friday and Saturday after the Show Floor closes!
The party doesn’t stop when the Show Floor closes! There’s a ton left to do at NYCC after the lights go down. Whether you want to sing your heart out at our late-night karaoke, play some games and grab a drink with friends, or geek out over: anime, comic books, or cosplay, we got it all!
Experiences
Let’s go on a Side Quest!
After the Show Floor closes, there’s a lot of cool stuff from board games, console gaming, and meetups at Side Quest! It’s great chance to unwind and dive into some fun after hours. Sling paint at the NYCC Paint-and-Take for miniatures or play a game of D&D with friends.
Side Quest will be open until midnight on Friday and Saturday.
