So I was up in NYC for a conference. We looked to go play some games. I was stunned. We have more pinball by a mile in my little hometown of 50K people than in all of greater NYC so it seems. Jackbar was about it for anything other than onesey/twosey places to go. And I sure as hell weren’t going to Barcade given the slap down for an errant hashtag they felt trampled on their rights a few years back. What gives ? Is it just so astronomically expensive to run a business there than pinball is a non starter ? Or do we just need to wait for the post-covid repopulation here for these establishments. Color me surprised given the plethora of restaurants per square block in the city.

Yes, unfortunately. That was the first name that came to mind. Closed. Permanently ? Seems so but unsure

No complaints about Jackbar at all. I would have just expected I could visit several locations while in NYC and was stunned to see the seeming veritable wasteland.
