*FAQ*
1) I don’t think I'm good enough. Should I still participate?
We encourage everyone to participate, regardless of skill level. You'll only get better by practicing! If space allows, we’ll have some consoles available for friendly matches.

2) If I'm participating in the tournament, do I also need to pay the venue fee?
Yes, you do. The tournament fee goes to the pool, while the venue fee goes to paying the owner of the event space.

3) I don't live in the New York City area. What can I do?
You can share this event!

4) How do I get there/what trains pass near there?
The F train will leave you 5 minutes walking distance from the east broadway stop

The B/D at the grand st stop is about a 7 minute walk

The A/C/N/Q/6 trains will also leave you about 15 minutes from the venue, but easily walkable.

Google maps will show you what the venue looks like!

5) What is in the area?
There is plenty of food in the area. If you enjoy asian food, you can get chinese, thai, vietnamese very easily. Little Italy is also just a few blocks away. There are also multiple dollar dumpling joints, chinese bakeries, and bubble tea available within a 3 block radius.

What about parking? Is there somewhere to put my car while I'm not using it?
 
On the STREET.
I'll get in contact with the venue owners and let you know if there is any easy parking, but its manhattan so =/
Yeah that's why I'm asking lol. If it's Next Level Arcade tier parking I guess I can manage, but a garage or something would be optimal.

I may or may not be going to nwm. If im not able to go then il come to this.
 
It's a 4 1/2 hour drive from my home in Northern Virginia; I can very possibly make this if things pan out. I'll let you know.
 
@mcpeanuts I'm definitely up for this as long as we're driving out the same night. Hotels are expensive, yo.

Did that massive snowstorm actually end up getting you out of jury duty?
 
Ok I'm in, guessing this is gonna be full on PS4 at this point and phasing out the PS3 (rip lil buddy, you served us well.) This is like in the heart of Chinatown tho so I might be taking the train instead. Next Level was passable for parking. This? Haha nooooo.
