Great photos and great presentation. It almost makes me feel like I was there. I am not sure if that is good or bad since it is making me hungry.
I have done trade shows all over the place but am quite happy I don't do any in NYC.

Thank you for sharing. I can imagine that is a huge show.
Back in the day (pre cell phones) they did not allow cameras in our trade shows, as companies were afraid of other companies stealing their ideas/designs. These days its impossible to regulate no cameras.
