Anime NYC expands: more choice for fans, less profit for vendors

The second biggest national anime convention returned to New York City for another year. More than 50,000 attendees visited Javits Center on November 18-20 to connect with fellow anime fans and purchase exclusive souvenirs from 334 vendors. But despite the prestige of the event, making a profit proved challenging for some returning vendors due to a structural change this year.
