Hi all!

I'm in NYC/Manhattan for a couple days looking for some practice sets ($50-$100/set nine or tenball)

I could also play at Steinway tomorrow 7/26

I played Alaska last time I was here (2 years ago) but I don't have his contact.

PM me if you'd like to play or know someone you could send my way!!!

Thanks!!

I would think you could find all the action you want at Amsterdam billiards

I have to disagree here. Amsterdam is not known for having much action. That said, it's the best poolroom in NYC for a social game and it has a fantastic bar if you crave a drink or two.

If you would like to see a full presentation on the latest educational applications using billiards technology let me know. Here is a quick outline of my presentation. Each of the presentations has a follow along where you can interact with the educational application and develop your own version.

-(1 min) How to make custom cue sleeves and custom cue decals.
-(20 seconds) Designing physics experiments with billiards equipment for middle and high schoolers
-(1 min) Special effects for pool productions including an info ticker, custom graphics, compositing and general video editing.

For more advanced enthusiasts:
(10 seconds) Programming custom tournament software
(10 seconds) Creating pool simulations

I also play 14.1.

If you plan to shoot at ABC on weeknight call ahead and RSVP a table.
 
Not living in the NY area any longer, but I would think that Steinway in Queens would be a better choice for a gambling game than Manhattan- as a walk - in. From what I have heard lately, though, stay out of the subway system, esp. at night- carrying cash etc.

Wow. NYC prices i guess. I pay $4/hr during the day here in Tulsa.

The price is likely a little more, its been a couple of years since I was there. You could also rent a table all night after ten, with a few players that worked out cheaper. It seems I need to go to Manhattan a couple times a year and once in awhile I will have time for a little fun. It certainly is not a city to visit if you are wanting to save money.

Paying just south of a C-note for a couple of hours of pool and a beer is worth it for the experience of the place but not something I want to do with frequency.
 

Josh is rated against Kazakis.

Check out his match.

IIRC around $12 an hour during the week per person. It was a little more for the weekends.

Two years ago I was in NYC visiting my two sons at Christmas - we went to Amsterdam during the day- it ws $12 an hour -PER PERSON! $36 an hour for three to play- a bit hefty when the old man is picking up the check:) We went over to East side Billiards - also in NYC a few days later- the photo is here of the three of us- not much less $$ either- but we had a great time!

I bought them some gift cards to Amsterdam when I left town, realizing what that had to spend to play in a decent room in NYC.

One of my sons is down here now, we just left a room after 2 hours of play- total cost was $10- Amsterdam would have been $48- big difference, but no comparison in the two rooms- Amsterdam hands down.

Yes its nice to find a deal in the city. I have a daughter and future son in law that would go to Eastside weekly. I have been there a handful of times and although it was not a respected room by many it did have a cool vibe.

Unfortunately, I believe it was a Covid casualty. There were quite a few regulars that I would see when I stopped in, I bet many of those are missing the room that was in their neighborhood.
