The Center Against Domestic Violence works toward a society free of violence and abuse. The Center leads the way by offering education and prevention programs and promoting the well-being and economic independence of survivors of abuse. Dedicated to cultivating a society free from abuse, the Center Against Domestic Violence drives cultural change through education and intervention. Their groundbreaking programs for high school, middle school and elementary school students teach young people how to identify and avoid domestic violence so they can develop healthy relationships. The individualized services provided by their shelters strive to give residents the tools they need to break the pattern of domestic violence and start life anew.

Public Transit:

Take the D, N or R train to the 36th Street Station in Brooklyn and walk 5 short blocks north to 31st Street.

Train:

If coming to New York via Amtrak, exit Penn Station on the Seventh Avenue side and walk one block east to the Herald Square subway station, catching a Brooklyn-bound D, N, or R train to 36th Street Station.

Air:

A fast public transit link from JFK is available - take the Air Tran to Jamaica Station where you can catch the LIRR to Atlantic Terminal. Nu Brand Gaming is one stop away via the southbound D or N subways to 36th Street, Brooklyn. If arriving at Laguardia, I recommend taking a taxi or car service - fares typically run approx. $25 + tip and up. From Newark Liberty, NJ Transit provides a rail link to Penn Station. From there follow 'Train' instructions above.

Driving:

Free on street parking is generally accessible within a block or two of the venue along 5th avenue or side streets, and it is customary to double park in front of the venue for a brief time to unload terrain, fellow travelers and their gear. Please be courteous to the neighbors and be sure not to block any driveways when parking your vehicle.

Dining:

Menus for local restaurants that deliver are available at the venue, and we can recommend both casual and fine dining spots nearby! Also there will be a loosely organized bar crawl in the neighborhood post event for those who wish to attend.

Numerous hotels are located within walking distance of the venue, many with rates starting below $100.

Other Lodging:
Various homes in the area offer rooms for rent on airbnb, HomeAway and others, some starting under $50 per night.
Nu Brand Gaming has generously donated the use of their space for the event. With their recent expansion we are able to support 32 players comfortably with 16 concurrent terrain filled tables.

For those who have not been here before, Nu Brand Gaming is a public venue dedicated to keeping tabletop gaming alive! They regularly host tabletop wargames, board games, card games and RPG's, with a focus on providing a comfortable and welcoming space for a diverse group of gamers. There is enough terrain available to cover all of their tables and then some. The tables were hand built and designed by the owner Ade Sanya, specifically for miniature wargaming. You can find fellow gamers every Wednesday - Saturday, check out their Facebook group for up to date info and say hello!
