Anime NYC is always a highlight of the fall convention season, spanning four days of panels, screenings, and an overwhelming array of exhibitors and fan experiences. This year, however, my time on the show floor was limited to the Thursday evening preview, since I flew out the next morning for a long-planned San Diego vacation. That meant I had just a few hours to explore before the weekend crowds rolled in, and I knew I’d need to be selective with what I chose to cover.

Do you love art? I sure do. Of all the art fairs in NYC — because there are a few –the Affordable Art Fair is by far my favorite. Not only does this vibrant gathering of contemporary art galleries from across the globe hit the town twice each year but, if you have even a couple hundred dollars in your pocket, you can easily go home with an original work of art to start — to add to — your own collection. Because collecting art is fun! Join me now, as we admire some of my favorite artworks from the Spring Affordable Art Fair, which took place in March. Let’s go!

Toy Fair, held annually at NYC’s Javits Center, is one of the largest and most exciting toy industry trade shows in the world. It’s where toy manufacturers, buyers, and industry professionals come together to showcase and discover the latest in toys, games, collectibles, and licensing trends.  Toy Fair is a dream event for anyone who loves toys, pop culture, and creative product design, though it’s traditionally a trade-only event and therefore not open to the general public). Bummer for you!

Fortunately, I was able to snag a press badge this year and make my inaugural visit, where I had an amazing time! Toy Fair runs for four days (four days!) but my busy social calendar only allowed me one day at the show. This meant that I had a lot of ground to cover, but I made the most those seven or eight hours.  Let’s check out some of my favorite finds!
