Game Stores in NYC

[leeann_the_lame]

Hi All -

I was wondering if anyone could point me to gaming stores in NYC? I'm looking for two things:

(1) Someplace to get my video gaming fix. I'm looking for a store that offers more than first-person shooter games (something like Warcraft is good, but RPG offerings are better).

(2) Someplace to buy D&D stuff and potentially play a one shot game (I'm only here for another 5 weeks).

Thanks...

Thanks.

you're welcome

are you gonna come to NYC Gameday?

 

[leeann_the_lame]

Err... Is it happening on 10/25? I'll be gone by then. I'm leaving town (well, New Jersey) on the 26th of September.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

dunno.
when are you coming back?
and may I ask where you're goin

 

[leeann_the_lame]

I'm going back home to California (San Diego to be specific). And never coming back, ever. Seriously. At least not to New Jersey. Or at least the New Jersey part of the New York greater metro area. I've been doing an internship here.

But if the game day happens before I go and I'm not tourist-ing that weekend, I'd like to come.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

im sorry to hear that you're leaving the area :-(

I doubt it will happen before then. I wish it could.

I'm sorry to hear your experience in New JErsey was poor. I'm sure we can make it up to you - we're more than just the nasty looking sections you go through to get to NYC.
