Entry No. 55 — the New York City file — filed under: speakeasy

Sunshine Laundromat & Pinball

From the street this is a fully functioning laundromat, rows of washers and dryers and all. At the back, a broken-looking washer-dryer unit is actually a hidden door that swings open into a dim pinball speakeasy packed with two-plus dozen machines, from The Addams Family to an AC/DC Limited Edition. There is craft beer on tap, no kitchen so you can bring your own snacks, and a coin-op mechanical chimp that tells fortunes.

The move: Pretend to do a load of laundry, then slip through the fake dryer door to split a pitcher and battle for high score across the pinball lineup.

📍 Before you go Pinball bar opens around 2pm daily; cash for laundry, machines take quarters. No kitchen, so bring food.
