It's Adamm's video: How to Spend 1 Day in New York

*Update - I would like to correct an error in the video; Tompkins Square Bagels is actually owned by Christopher Pugliese who can be seen here: http://tompkinssquarebagels.com/about.html In this Episode of Arcane Travels, we head to the Big Apple to explore some unique places to grab food and a drink in New York. Our first stop is Tompkins Square Bagels, a place that created the "French Toast Bagel with Birthday Cake cream cheese." --- Afterward, we headed to Barcade. Barcade® is a combination bar and arcade with a focus on classic video games and American craft beer. There are locations in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Connecticut, owned by four friends; Paul Kermizian, Pete Langway, and brothers Kevin and Scott Beard. The original Barcade was opened in 2004 in a former metal shop on Union Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. At the time of the opening, Kevin and Scott were working in graphic design, Paul in film and television, and Pete in advertising. Paul had just completed directing the feature film “American Beer”, a road trip documentary profiling the American craft beer industry, and the friends were spending time drinking craft beer and playing the classic 1980’s video games that lined the walls of Paul’s Williamsburg loft. Those beer and game filled nights inspired the group to open a neighborhood bar centered on American craft beer and classic video games. They quit their day jobs, maxed out their credit cards and began work on Barcade. The friends did most of the construction themselves, keeping the look of the warehouse and garage that the space had been, and the bar opened in the fall of 2004. In 2014, Barcade opened its fourth and fifth locations, both in Manhattan, on West 24th Street in Chelsea and on St. Mark’s Place in the East Village. All in all, it was an amazing day in New York. --- Follow me: Instagram: instagram.com/arcane_adam Youtube: https://tinyurl.com/hann98t Facebook: facebook.com/arcanetravel Twitter: twitter.com/arcane_adam_ --- Intro Music: Rain Dance by Sweater Beats Producers: Jim Wall Brian Schwantner Alex Ignatov
