Editorial Review for Jacob Javits Convention Center – by Rachel Fishman
The Plan
Some think it's a postmodern crystal palace, and some think it's a postmortem of resources, time and taste gone haywire. Everyone seems to agree, however, about its size and location: The Javits Center is a poorly-planned behemoth three blocks from the middle of nowhere (and any decent public transportation). On top of that, the food is an insult to taste and wallet.
The Place
Alas, aside from smaller conference venues in various midtown hotels, I.M. Pei's creation is the only show in town. Its hulking interior, which hosts famous car, home and toy shows, can accommodate multiple exhibitions in a rabbit warren of cavernous exhibition halls.
