When famed arcade Chinatown Fair finally closed two weeks ago, manager Henry Cen mentioned a possible move to Brooklyn. And apparently that's already happened. Bifuteki reports (video below) that Cen has opened "Next Level Arcade" in Sunset Park.
The setup is currently pretty bare, with Marvel v. Capcom 3 and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, and there are reportedly plans to open a bubble tea shop. But so far it looks like a lot of white walls. Which means the regulars have to get on filling it up with their dirt and smell.
