The Metropolitan Stamp Expo will be in town next month. For anyone not familiar with the location, it is on the west side a long block or so from the Hudson River. Be advised that 20 short blocks (#d streets) equal one mile, and 6 long blocks, avenue to avenues - also make a mile, thus if you are on 37th Street and 5th Avenue, it is a 2 mile walk.
Nearest subway stop is Columbus Circle, 1, A/C/E, B/D trains, about a 3/4 mile walk as this lets you out on 8th Avenue at or around 59th St. Buses will get you closer.
I advise checking out the waterside, which has been developed in stages over the years so there is always something new that way before or after the show.
For those of you going on Saturday, let me mention the Chelsea Antiques Market on 25/26th Streets which you can get to on all of the above mentioned trains, 2 1/2 miles away or less if you take Broadway down. Both the indoor and the outdoor markets have longstanding stamp dealers and great prices.

This show is getting smaller, less and less dealers and no one seems to show up - it is all the way over by 11th Avenue, someone ought to do one midtown.
