Getting to the Javits Center

Plan your route

The Javits Center is more than just a convention center. Named after the legendary and lifelong New Yorker, Senator Jacob K. Javits, this self-sustaining New York icon has become a wildlife sanctuary, a community partner and a nationwide nexus where the latest ideas in business and pop culture converge under one very green roof.

Plan your route from your hotel to the Javits Center

From Times Square hotels: the easiest ways to Javits

Most hosted buyers are in the Times Square area. Here’s the fastest way to reach Javits each morning.

Walk (~20 minutes / ~1 mile)
A simple, flat route heading west on 42nd St. or 34th St. Great on a clear fall morning.

Subway (18–26 minutes)

  • Walk to Times Square–42 St station and follow signs for the 7 train (purple circle).
  • Take the 7 one stop to 34 St–Hudson Yards (last stop).
  • Exit Hudson Blvd East, then walk west along 34th St to Javits (34th St & 11th Ave).

Tip: Tap to pay with your contactless card/phone—no MetroCard needed. Trains run every 3–6 minutes at peak.

Taxi / car (time varies by traffic)

  • Clear weather, light traffic: 6–12 minutes
  • Typical weekday rush hour: 10–20 minutes
  • Rainy morning: 15–25 minutes (up to 25–35 with heavy rain/incidents)

Ask your hotel to hail a yellow cab—often faster than waiting for rideshare.

Plan your morning

We recommend leaving your hotel by 07:00 on Wednesday, October 14 and 07:30 on Thursday, October 15 to allow time for registration and wayfinding inside Javits.

Plan your route from your hotel to the Javits Center
