Yet another reason to not like having things in multiple venues. Having different rules on what you can bring to the different venues is really annoying. What if i bring stuff that is allowed at the Javitz like an umbrella or food but then want to go see a panel at the Hammerstein or the Garden. What am i supposed to do with the stuff they wont let into those venues.

With Hammerstein last year...just left my food/drink and umbrella outside on the steps. Yeah you take a chance if something happens to your stuff....but fortunately my stuff was still there after the panel.

Do they sell concessions at Hammerstein?

Trying to remember.....I want to say yes, but not 100% sure. I just plan to get food near Hammerstein (it is near Penn Station) and just eat wherever...

Well I'm just thinking that since they're not clearing between panels, if one is spending almost all day at Hammerstein (or MSG) and they don't sell anything to eat or drink, and you can't bring it in either ... that's rough.

If I remember correctly, they did sell food at Hammerstein last year, but it was bare minimum, like chips/pretzels/hot dogs and some drinks. I vaguely remember stuffing a soft pretzel in my face before the Mr. Robot panel.

I would guess they sell food and that's probably the reason they don't let you bring in your own food so they can make you buy their overpriced stuff.

So similar to Hall H options.

I didn't make it to Hammerstein last year but are you not even allowed a backpack?
I figure you can put umbrella, food etc in your backpack and bring it in.

I assumed they searched your bag like they do at Javits.
