In an age of e-sports and increasingly sophisticated virtual reality games, one might assume pool tables and old-school board games would be gathering dust. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. A recent report found that a growing number of women and young people (Millennials and Gen Z) is coming to embrace billiards. Additionally, years after game sales surged at the height of pandemic-induced lockdowns, young people are embracing board games as an alternative to near-constant online activity.
Most New York City apartments aren't big enough to accommodate pool tables, and it can be a tight squeeze to fit a group of friends into an apartment for game night. But that is not to say New Yorkers can't play. The city is home to several bars with pool tables, pool halls, and board game cafes, and several residential buildings have lounges with billiards tables, Ping-Pong tables, and tables large enough for big groups of board or card game play.

Some developers have gone one step further by putting their game rooms on high floors that make the most of vistas of Central Park, the East River or Hudson River, or the Manhattan skyline. Such lounges are great settings for gatherings, residents are welcome to bring their own food and drinks up to keep the party going, and several lounges have access to outdoor terraces. However, some players might miss a turn because they're too dazzled by the views!
At waterfront condominium The Huron, over 30,000 square feet of amenities were designed to appeal to residents of all ages. Children have access to the Explorer's Room playroom.
