Report by John

In September 2013, my wife and I had our first trip to east coast of the USA (New York City and Orlando), and Canada (Vancouver).

New York City was the first destination of our trip.

We stayed for a total of four days in the Holiday Inn Wall Street at 51 Nassau Street, which is a decent hotel in an excellent location, although it is quite costly.

After unloading our luggage and having lunch, we immediately proceeded to the first pinball location - Reciprocal Skateboards & Pinball.

It took me around fifteen minutes from the 1st Avenue subway station to reach the shop which is located near a street corner. Some youngsters were playing with their skateboards near the store. In general, the store was not crowded and it was quite relaxing to be playing pinball in there.

This was first time I had ever seen the new pin The Wizard of Oz. It is an amazing pinball indeed.

In general, the machines' conditions were good. The cost to play was 50c per game.
