What people say

"This establishment has not received any award, per se but has been recognized in a documentary, "The Lost Arcade" that can be viewed on-line. Referenced as "New York City's last great arcade", the documentary focuses on how the arcade became an 'essential crossroad for New York City gamers' under then owner, Sam Palmer, a Pakistani immigrant who bought the place in 1982. The arcade is now under the leadership of new owner, and our member, Lonnie Sobel. IMS is glad to have this establishment entering their 6th year of membership!"
