Well I wish I was gaming at the moment.
But back when I did so, we Larped at the Winter Garden (in the World Financial Center, in the WTC complex), and we played table top games at a LGS (Neutral ground). The winter garden was a two block walk from our school and Neutral ground was a 10 min train ride.
Of course school was a hour and a half commute for me.
Sometimes during the summer when we pulled all nighters we would do it at my friend's place, which was luckily only a 20 min bus ride from my place. Otherwise we would trek out to the LGS to play.
