The Uncommons is Manhattan's first (and only) board game cafe, the best place in town to come to relax for a bit, by yourself or with the family. Combining a traditional coffee shop with a library of games to play in-store, we also feature hundreds of great gifts for sale, from puzzles to Cards Against Humanity. And we have 30+ craft beers available, as well as wine, champagne, and mimosas too! Free wi-fi, plenty of tables, and an events calendar with something fun just about every night, this NYU hotspot brings modern board games to an old space: updating the famous Village Chess Shop which had been in the spot for 40 years.
