But if it's just the 3 of us or so, where are you folks coming for? Perhaps can find a bar/watering hole that's more central?

Midwood is heavily Jewish as is Borough Park. I'm not too familiar with the ethnic make-up of Gravesend. I just know that it is predominately white.
It's not a problem. It is indeed pretty damn chilly tonight as I had to go down a line scanning QR codes in. I'm probably going to get something cheap in the area if not when I'm back in the nabe.
I'm going to be back in Chelsea next Saturday again funny enough but to hit the batting cage with a few con friends so maybe next Friday if anything or Wednesday night since I'm working a shift at the Cineopolis theatre. I'll try to have the next GAF meetup thread up by early next week.

Caught Arrival yesterday at the Alamo. Food actually came out relatively quick. Maybe they're finally getting there.
Hey, I saw the first one on VHS. Let's see Arrival since it's a modern classic or something
Hey, I didn't name no names!
Could be worse, imagine never seeing Jurassic Park!

So secret service is contemplating closing 5th Avenue whenever Trump comes to NY.

My god that would be a fucking disaster.
Fuck that.
Well you can always come to the next GAF hang and maybe meet some cool people
Also, we so NEED to put the Legend of Zelda Escape Room on the radar as a potential meet-up

Whoa, definitely need to do this. You have my bow.
There's also a Fallout themed one in downtown Brooklyn. If anyone's interested in that.
Tell me more... maybe we can do a meet-up there
I did like the one I did (Paradiso) in Koreatown

Huh, max number of players is four. That makes sense. I walked by it the other day and the place does look small.

Reading up on the Zelda event, it looks like it's one of their puzzle events. Not really a room escape game. (Basically there's a bunch of teams in a big space solving puzzles.) So, it's not like they dressed up a room as the Temple of Time and you get to wreck it.
Still cool though. I heard the Attack of Titan event they did recently was good.
I think their pretty flexible on team size, so it's pretty ideal for a meet-up.

i did an escape room by brooklyn bridge close to chinatown. maybe i went to the wrong one but i fell asleep. i need to try one more
Looks like there's 6 interested so far. If we can get two more then we've got 2 teams. I think.
Hahaha, how did you fall asleep in something that's supposed to be active/frantic?
The Zelda escape the room idea sounds pretty cool. I wonder how much tickets would be to get an idea of the ballpark range is and where in the city would it be. I'm assuming that it would be in Midtown.

Looking at certain cities, don't worry about the door price... LA and San Diego already sold out

i think i was tired from walking around manhattan before we played, i had a group of about 9 people. i heard compared to others, the one we did was a pretty small room. (i think we had to disarm a bomb) i keep hearing great things about other ones though =)
Welcome! I'm sure there's other lurkers out there so don't feel shy to post. Ah yes, Park Slope AKA the mayor's neighborhood. I read an article about his daily routine which includes working out in the YMCA early in the morning sometimes with his wife and picking up his suit from the dry cleaner nearby.dickroach said:
And yes, there will be more GAF meet ups to come in the near future both big and small. I haven't penned the next thread yet. Where did you move from?
On the topic of free tickets, I reserved a +1 ticket for Bunker 77 since one of the perks of volunteering at Doc NYC has been that I get free tickets to see select documentaries. Here's the synopsis of the movie:
If anyone would be interested in attending, let me know through here or a PM. Would have to be there 15 minutes before it starts to pick up the tickets as they're under my name. Thankfully, the theatre is only a minute away from the C/E 23rd station.
I realize that I will very well have to miss DC Legends of Tomorrow and Supernatural.
$35 is not bad at all! I thought it was somewhere in the $50 range. It sounds like a solid plan to me. Count me in the interested camp.
That explains why you fell asleep. To me it sounds like the VR game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes . I didn't even know that there were Escape the Room places tucked into Chinatown. The more you know.davidwhangchoi said:
On another note, has anyone seen the flood of post-it notes lining the corridor between the L and N/Q/R train at the Union Square station? I was there last night and it was overwhelming but similar messages: "Fuck Trump," some long letters, messages blaming folks, worried minorities, and messages from tourists.
There was one particular black post it note that stood out to me that said "Treat everyone with LOVE & RESPECT." The Love letters where colored in rainbow colors. The most hilarious part was that the MTA worker swept the post-its on the floor without a single hoot given since he was just doing his job. If anything, it sparked conversations among passerbys.
