Dave & Buster's

We don’t have casinos in NYC (yet), but we do have a Dave & Buster’s on a third floor overlooking Times Square. Here, instead of gambling away at a temple of adult indulgence, you can unleash your inner child, playing arcade games to win tickets, which you then redeem for a pack of gum—or a new PlayStation. This place is also a sports bar, so while your friends, or kids, play arcade Deal or No Deal, you can sip a beer, order a cartful of jello shots, and if you’re really, really hungry, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before picking at oddly sweet pretzel dogs or loaded pepperoni flatbread from a Game Day Grub sampler board. Dave & Buster’s can be a fun time, but we’d recommend cashing out your tickets and going elsewhere for food.
