And if battling crowds along the Hudson waterfront isn't your thing, the event will be live-streamed here.
Politico first reported Clinton's venue choice based on a "save the date" email sent to lawmakers and their aides by Clinton's team. The email said they would be sending "additional information shortly" but "we wanted your boss to be the first to know" about the election night get-together, according to Politico.

If Hillary Clinton parachutes through the Javits Center glass ceiling before her election night speech, that would tie a bow around 2016.

Clinton's campaign headquarters are located across the East River in Brooklyn Heights.
Chances look pretty good that Clinton's "remarks to supporters and volunteers" in two weeks is a euphemism for a raucous party celebrating her being voted the next president of the United States — and the first woman to hold that office.
As of late October, she has about a 5-point lead over Donald Trump in national polls, and is leading in enough battleground states to potentially pull off one of the biggest electoral college victories in modern American political history.
