Don't miss New York Comic Con 2024, happening October 17 through 20. Popverse will be there all four days, immersing ourselves in the pop culture party full of vendors, events, and celebrities from the worlds of comics, movies, TV, gaming, and more. Buy tickets now!

Picture this: you're at New York Comic Con 2024 and, out of nowhere, like the Dark Knight himself, hunger strikes. We've already recommended some places to eat around the Javits Center, but what if you don't have time to exit the building? There are a whole bunch of panels this year, after all, and you don't want to miss any of the fandom goodness for a little thing like the basic human need to consume food. Well don't worry, Popverse also has you covered if that's your situation; we've put together this list of places to eat inside the Javits Center to prove it.

So go seek your food, and maybe pick us up something along the way. We're starving.

Where to eat at the Javits Center #1 - Starbucks

Visible from the very second you go through the southern entrance on 11th Ave, where most attendees will be coming in, is the Starbucks located at the Javits Center. It's a great location for starting your day at NYCC, as not only does it obviously feature mostly breakfast and snack items, but its also accessible before you go through security. Just be warned, though: you may have trouble getting a bunch of liquids through the security check if you purchase them here. A coffee is fine, but a bunch of Naked Juice bottles may slow you down.

Where to eat at the Javits Center #2 - 3411 Garden Market

Upon entering the Javits's Crystal Palace, you'll find 3411 Garden Market, located at the bottom of the escalators to the River Pavilion. It's the most central restaurant in the building, so expect there to be something of a line for its mostly American fare. Howeverm the Garden Market also has an option to order online (by scanning the QR codes positioned all around it), which may cut your wait time down. 

Where to eat at the Javits Center #3 - Fresh and Fast

If all you need is a snack or maybe light meal, the Javits Center's Fresh and Fast market is a great option. It's what you might expect from a higher-end convenience store, but without the need to spend time waiting for a cashier. Yes, Fresh and Fast is grab-and-go, automatically charging you for whatever you pick up wothin the structure. Will it feel like stealing? Potentially. Will it be convenient? Without a doubt.

Where to eat at the Javits Center #4 - Nibble and Graze

Let's be honest, there's not exactly a sit-down restaurant in the convention hall that hosts America's premiere pop-culture event. BUT, Nibble and Graze on the first floor is something close, in that there are seats available close enough to over-the-counter restaurants Nuchas and Korilla. Think of it kind of like a food court. A food court attended by a thousand Batmans.

Where to eat at the Javits Center #5 - Food Trucks 

And finally, the option that you really shouldn't leave New York Comic Con without exploring is its line of food trucks located just outside the South Concourse. We know, this option is technically cheating as it's not actually in the Javits Center, but it's closer to the entrance than either the Show Floor or River Pavilion. Plus, with food vendors from across New York City staking their territory in front of the building, this is certainly the option with the most variety.

...and sometimes the longest lines. But hey, have you had those Onigiri balls?
