Located smack in the middle of Forty Deuce, this 35,000-square-foot fun house happens to carry every game a grown-up kid could ever dream of, from NASCAR simulators on 60-inch screens to old standbys like Donkey Kong and Ms. Pac-Man. There’s virtual-reality simulators, but we’re partial to that childhood favorite: Skee-Ball. The restaurant serves Philly cheese steaks, salads and burgers. And did we mention there’s booze? 234 W 42nd St between Seventh and Eighth Aves (646-495-2015 daveandbusters.com)
