I work in Westchester and I attend the show regularly. It's a decent time, but don't expect to find any deals. Many dealers setup in the same spot with the same exact inventory each go 'round. The show is heavy on 50s and 60s, autographs, etc. It's nice to see the Auction houses displaying their wares for upcoming events, and there are lots of interesting folks to speak with. As for vintage, there is a solid core of dealers who are strong in your common vintage sets (T206, T3, T205) - Good luck looking for obscure items...There are none to be found (as opposed to THE National, where all sorts of treasures abound).
Parking can be a pain (welcome to Westchester), and do park in designated areas - local cops WILL ticket you. Food is blase run-of-the-mill convention food (hot dogs, greasy fries, etc.).
I go looking to speak with people and enjoy a "card show". I don't expect to buy much (even though I'm hoping to do so) and I don't expect to run into many deals. As such, I normally leave as a happy camper.
