If you're like me, you have your NYCC tickets. You have your hotel booked. You've bought flights. Now comes the part you always overlook - what else are you doing in New York City during New York Comic Con 2024 weekend? One of the fringe benefits of NYC being the biggest convention in North America and being in the biggest city in North America is there's loads of other things to do while you're here: comedy shows, concerts, drag shows, sports... oh my!
With that in mind (and to be honest, to figure out what we want to do while we're there), here's a rundown of all the major events happening October 16-21, in this NYCC window (and the shoulder days before). If you have something to add, leave a comment or tag us on social media!
