Ours was a flop also imo. There was a decent amount of traffic since it is a pretty active Barnes and noble (with a very active Starbucks inside).

But, none of it was for the "Makerfaire" there was a few product tables but really they were just trying to sell products nothing really screams Makerfaire. There was another frc team one day for half of the day and an Fll team. But, other then that there was nothing else. On Friday and Sunday we were the only makers there. There were some positives. To start we made friends of the Barnes and Noble staff and they offered us a good spot in a gift wrapping fundraiser. We also got to stress test our new robot and it gave our programmer time to work everything out before next week's off-season event. Overall in NY it felt unnecessary as the real world Makerfaire happened a month ago.

I doubt they will do it again but if they do we probably will go.
