A ’90s Video Store Pop-Up in NYC (Because Nostalgia FTW)
If you miss the days of wandering the aisles at Blockbuster and arguing over which VHS to pick, you need to check out this pop-up. Running through March 12th at the Virgin Hotels in Flatiron, this spot is giving full ‘90s nostalgia vibes - with old TV’s, boomboxes, video games, and themed cocktails. Worth the trip for anyone who remembers the struggle of rewinding tapes. And I added a spot you can go to nearby for a great steak & fries deal!
