Chinatown Fair, NYC's famous arcade, is no more.

​Late last month, Chinatown Fair, arguably New York City's last true video arcade, suddenly closed. After almost 50 years at the same location, an undisclosed dispute with the building's landlord caused the business to rapidly shut down. While there has been chatter that Chinatown Fair would relocate to Brooklyn, it's undeniably the end of an era for NYC's gamers.  As the closure of Chinatown Fair was so recent, his film Arcade: The Last Night at Chinatown Fair is still a ways off. But he's already released a teaser trailer for it, which you can see below. We've also got the official description of the proposed movie:

This is a glance into Chinatown Fair. It's three thirty on a Friday afternoon. ARCADE is a feature length documentary about Chinatown Fair, New York's last arcade. After half a century of being in business Chinatown Fair suddenly closed after receiving an unexpected eviction notice, echoing the fate of many other small businesses in New York City. The arcade is yet another NYC landmark to be lost. 

Filmed during Chinatown Fair's last day in business, the movie captures the diverse community that called the arcade home. Interviews with Chinatown Fair regulars reveal a subculture full of surprising stories and amazing characters.
