Supposedly Chinatown Fair is moving. But it wasn't a shmups place anyway, it was mostly for fighting games.

Chinatown Fair is closed, but the manager opened his own place in Sunset park called Next Level. Right now they have 8 machines; 7 of which are fighters. No shmups right now and I wouldn't expect any in the immediate future.

VideoGamesNewYork on 202 East 6th street sells a lot of cool stuff like Semitsu parts. Good place for window shopping; just don't expect to find any killer deals.

8 Bit And Up Video Games is another place along St.Marks that sells a lot of used/retro stuff and regularly hosts tournaments. Never been been to em so I can't say much.

The Nintendo World Store is pretty much what you would expect. Lots of demo stations; lots of Nintendo merchandise. Nothing to write home about but neat to visit at least once.

We have a pretty active chip scene over here if you're into that. There's a show on the 30th. http://pulsewave.org/
(Fun Fact: Jeremiah/Nullsleep used to post (still posts?) here and is pretty big into shmups)

On the indie front, theres Babycastles. Art collective that hosts occasional events with a few makeshift arcade machines running indie games. http://babycastles.com/

This looks cool as shit but ends April 4th.

If anything, I'd be down to show you around if family/easter stuff doesn't get too hectic.

sounds great! thanx for all the advice, yeah maybe a guide around town would be cool if you have the time, i dont know how my schedule will be either tho.

another thing, id really like to visit at some motorbikes/apparel shops and some classic sportscar sellers when there, anyone here in the knowhow for either?

Hey there,

I've been assigned to a project in NY/NJ. Should be here 4-5 days a week for the next 6 months to maybe a few years. Staying in Weehawken and working in Englewood Cliffs.

I'd love to join in on the fun sometime.
