Brings back memories for me, though not NYC. I was recently looking to introduce my kids to some of the hobby things I did as a kid before video games could basically simulate every interesting thing
Slot car racing was something I loved doing. It was easy to learn, fun to play and relatively inexpensive to get into. There were two places nearby who had excellent tracks, rented reasonable cars and, of course, let you race your own. Unfortunately, there's only one of these sort of hobby shops around (incidentally, the biggest one from my childhood, which moved to an even bigger building), and they only have RC tracks.
Would love to see slot car racing return to my area.
