Meet up at Waypoint Cafe to play classic retro games on Nintendo consoles.
The most wonderful time of the year is coming, and what better way to celebrate the holidays than a Holiday Party! Once again, we will be hosting our annual Holiday Party at Waypoint, where we’ll be having free play on the TVs, as people are playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch!
We’ll be doing a special Christmas grab bag game during the party! Instead of the traditional Yankee Swap/White Elephant Gift Exchange, we wanted to do something different.
Here are the rules:
Item must be in the $20-$30 range. It must be a physical item or a piece of merchandise (like toys, board games, plushies, etc.). We will not be accepting video games or prepaid cards/gift cards. The item must be a physical item or piece of merchandise. Make sure the gift is wrapped up and left unlabeled.
On the day of the event all of the items will get thrown into a giant laundry sack or giant bag. Admins Mike and Geoffrey will randomly generate the order of the participants, and line them up. They will randomly grab an item out of the bag without looking. Once you receive the gift, it’s yours. At the end of the game, you can choose to trade with people if you would like.
We will have another raffle this year, where we’ll be giving away a ton of prizes!
To get to Waypoint Cafe, take the D Train to Grand St. From there, it’s a five minute walk to Ludlow St. After you reach Ludlow, make a left turn, and it’s a very short walk. You could also take the F Train to Delancey St. From there, it’s a three minute walk to Ludlow.
We look forward to seeing you guys at the party!
Join us for a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament! Fans can begin lining up at 8am on 3/23, registration and wristband distribution starts at 9:30am and the tournament begins at 11am! Space is limited to 64 contestants.
We are all quacked up about the release of Duck Game for Switch. VideoGamesNewYork is partnering up with us to make a celebratory game night of multiplayer games with fast casual fun. We will be playing both the Switch and PC versions. Adult Swim Games and Corptron have kindly given us download codes and fun swag to give away. Stay tuned for details on how you can get some.
NYC Gaymers strives to create safe spaces for all gamers so this event is all inclusive.

The BBQ is BACK once again, and this time, it’s Nitro Fuled!
We will be meeting once again at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5, Celebrating Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled! We’re also planning to host the BBQ on Sunday, July 21st, with July 28th as the rain date.
To determine the headcount of how many people are attending, we strongly recommend to set your RSVP notice as “Going”, because marking it as “Interested” is too vague for us. We want to make sure that we will be buying the right amount of food to feed everybody in attendance. If there are extra guests that would like to attend, please let us know, and consider contributing an item to the event.
We will also be keeping track on food, beverages, and other supplies that will be contributed to the BBQ in the form of a Google Spreadsheet. Please note that contributing something will likely factor into food intake for the event, so in the interest of fairness, please consider bringing something, to help the BBQ run smoothly!
Check out the items that are being listed for the BBQ on the spreadsheet, so we don’t end up with a large surplus of items or supplies we don’t need much of, such as bags of chips.
Info on what we plan to do for Crash Team Racing will be coming soon.
[ Directions ]
To get to the Brooklyn Bridge Park – Pier 5, you can take the 2/3/4/5 trains to the Borough Hall stop.
From Borough Hall, head west on Joralemon Street, and keep walking until you reach Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5. That will be a 13-minute walk.
You could also take the N/W/R trains to the Court Street stop. From there, walk to Montague Street, then walk until you reach Clinton Street. Afterwards, you head to Joralemon Street, and keep walking until you reach Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5. This altogether is a 10-12 minute walk.
You could also take the A/C/F trains to the Jay Street/Metrotech stop, but that’s about a 16-17 minute walk.
Once you enter the Pier, we should have seating available with shade. We’ll spend our time chatting, gaming, and of course, eating while our grillmasters will be working the BBQ pits for the day.
If you have any questions on what you would like to bring, feel free to comment! Make sure to fill out the spreadsheet on what you’re planning on bringing with you at the event.
