Your Neighborhood Board Game Home

WHO WE ARE

Welcome to Main St. Board Game Cafe! We believe games are for everyone—no exceptions. Whether you're here to relive your childhood favorites or try out that buzzy new title your friends won’t shut up about, our doors (and board game boxes) are open.

UNPLUG & CONNECT

We’re a new kind of community space. Your neighborhood spot for unplugged fun, with over 400 carefully curated board games, staff who actually like explaining the rules, and plenty of table space to make yourself at home. Come with friends or family, or roll in solo and meet new players at one of our regular events. Total beginner? No sweat. Card-slinging, dice-drafting expert? You’ll fit right in too.

  • Neil is a longtime collector of tabletop strategy board games.

    He’s seen first hand the impact of “unplugging your game” can have on friends and family. His favorite part of the hobby is introducing and teaching a board game and watching the group fall in love with the experience.

    This is a second career for Neil. Prior to starting this business, he was sports producer at New York 1 News for almost 20 years. He got paid to go to ballgames for free and watch sports on TV professionally. But this job is better.

“With tabletop board games, there is infinite complexity, infinite aesthetics and an infinite number of things one can accomplish.”
