NBC, as in years past, comes to Comic-Con (SDCC) with off-sites, panels, and screenings for fans! Thanks to being the con’s official app sponsor, attendees can get live updates, access their schedule, exclusives, and more! The 2018 Comic-Con app will be available on Google Play and the app store starting Wednesday, July 11th.
The Tin Fish restaurant, which has partnered in years past with NBC for shows like Grimm, will offer “The Good Plates” and create the same restaurant atmosphere from the hit show “The Good Place.” From the press release:
Customers will immerse themselves into the recognizable restaurant from the series, complete with branded menus, tabletops and more. Additionally, NBC is partnering with No Kid Hungry to donate 50% of the sales of a designated Tin Fish Restaurant menu item during San Diego Comic-Con week to its efforts to end childhood hunger in America. No Kid Hungry is a campaign of national anti-poverty nonprofit Share Our Strength.
