Jacob K Javits Convention Center

The Jacob K Javits Convention Center is a modern glass building complex on the western side of Manhattan, near the bank of the Hudson River, in New York City. The 18-storey building was designed by famous Chinese-American architect, I.M. Pei, and employed the use of 16,000 panels of glass. Its lobby, which faces 11th Avenue, is so big that the Statue of Liberty can fit inside.

The Jacob K Javits Conventer Center, often called simply the Javits Center, was named after a former US Senator from New York whose name also appears on another building in New York City, the Jacob K Javits Federal Building. The construction of this building provided space for New York City to host large-scale expos and conventions.

How to reach the Jacob K Javits Convention Center

There aren't any subway stations that I can consider to be nearby. Anyway, if you depend on the subway, then take the 1, 2 or 3 trains to the 34th Street / Penn Station subway station. Walk west on W 34th Street for 3 city blocks until you reach the intersection with 11th Avenue. The convention center is on the right side of W 34th Street, on the left side of 11th Avenue.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
