I personally enjoy the Philly convention center. I can only compare to Dallas convention center which is in a weird part of town and has a much more ghostly feel to it.

I would say it compares favorably to the Javit's center in Manhattan.

The Javit's is a few blocks North West of Penn Station/MSG. But it's kind of a pain to get to unless you're already nearby, and it's in a bit of a no-mans land in terms of anything else worth doing.

Javit's looks more impressive from the street. And it's been a bit since I've been in either. But recall Philly being laid out better, and it seemed more flexible.

I worked an event for a friend in Boston's convention center years ago. I remember that being impossible to navigate and not real accessible to anything we wanted to do on our off time. Lotta long cab rides.
