BookCon Map
Whether you’re on a quest to explore or are just trying to find the nearest restroom, use these maps to help you navigate the world of BookCon. With one version inspired by the epic fantasy maps of some of our favorite books and another one that keeps things simple, use whichever version works best for you!
Getting to BookCon
The Javits Center is located in Manhattan at 429 Eleventh Avenue. Although that’s the Javits Center’s official address, the building is massive and spans five city blocks, stretching from West 34th Street up to 39th Street, where the new expansion building, North Javits, is located.
BookCon’s entrance is closer to North Javits, located at 445 11th Ave in NYC (11th and 38th are the cross streets).
The easiest way to get to the Javits Center is via the 7 train to the 34th-Hudson Yards Station. The convention center is just one block away!
Entrance Procedures
Everyone will enter at 38th St & 11th Ave. to the Inner Roadway of the Javits Center where there will be staff and signage to direct you to your proper line and entrance. You will need to have your mobile ticket with your QR code ready and available, and will go through a security screening upon entry. Attendees will be queuing outside prior to doors opening, so please be prepared for the weather forecast and plan accordingly!
