There's so much to see and do during New York Comic-Con weekend that it's easy to miss out on some low-key, but no-less-awesome panels and events. Luckily, we scoured the listings to bring you our top picks that you might not have heard about!

For example, all weekend, there will be fandom-specific meet-ups in room 1E03, which we've never seen on the schedule before.  Fans of Batman, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who are just a few of the groups getting their own time slot to geek out and show off their nerd cred.  Meeting fellow fans is always one the best parts of NYCC, so don't forget to check the schedule and pop into this room at some point!

Seeing the new Doctor Who LEGO sets out in the world has set our minds afire with possbility. If only we could also see these dream LEGO sets in the market as well!

Like breakfast foods for dinner, some things may sound wrong but are just so right. The same can be said for maple syrup in savory dishes. Working on Maple has had Quirk HQ slathering the sweet stuff on tons of dishes we never thought to maple-fy before. And thanks to author Katie Webster's recipes, the results were as one might put it, suh-weeet! So in honor of the book's on-sale day, here’s what Katie’s recipes has taught us about having maple syrup for dinner!
