Old School Treasures

In a playful mood? Miss the old days? Chinatown Fair, located at 8 Mott Street, is a video arcade. It might look a little rundown on the outside, but walk in and it’s video game heaven.

One of the last few video arcades left in the city, the Chinatown Fair attracts mostly teens looking for a place to hang out with friends and work on their gaming skills.

The place is packed with a large selection of video games, including the ever popular Dance, Dance, Revolution. Bring your quarters!

For those shower singers out there, there's a great place to practice your singing. 

Winnie's Bar and Restaurant on Bayard Street offers karaoke for those in the mood to belt out tunes like Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" after knocking back a few.

Don't worry if you can't remember the words; the large screen and the helpful mix of customers are there to back you up.

It's not the prettiest spot, but it gives off a comfortable environment for singing your heart out.

I love don't stop believing AND chinatown :-) it's really cool that you found stuff to do in a place where most people don't know of anything.

OMG! I love arcades!! That's it. You've now contributed to the significant loss of funds from my personal account. Up for some DDR?
