_____________________

We would like to inform you of three announcements:

1) REOPENING 40 ALLEN STREET POD: 

We are happy to report that we are cautiously reopening our doors to the public. This comes with a number of restrictions which can be found here. As you know, our pods are fully autonomous (without employees working on-site) which allows us to accept customers so long as they adhere to all restrictions. So please read them carefully and help us remain open!

2) OPENING MULTI-TABLE POD AT 42 ALLEN STREET

We’re opening our second location, 42 Allen, directly above 40 Allen (separate entrance). This location will be opening in beta and initially feature two tables to ensure social distancing can comfortably be adhered to. As with 40 Allen, we are restricting the number of people per table to three. Of course, the same restrictions mentioned under 1) apply and can also be found here. Please help us stay open by adhering to then!

Both locations will offer reduced pricing during this time; as low as $15/hour/table.

3) PINGPOD HANDICAP LEAGUE SEASON ONE: 

We are also announcing our inaugural PINGPOD handicap league. This league is for everyone, from beginner to expert, as we will adjust for your level. Higher rated players will have to spot points to lower rated players based on a formula. (Don’t worry we know how to rate you if you don’t have an official rating yet.) It’s free to join with exciting prizes on the line, including several PINGPOD memberships! For details please see here. To sign up please email ernesto@pingpod.com. There is limited space, so please sign up as soon as you can to save your spot!

QUESTIONS:

  • Frequently asked questions or how it works please click here
  • Any urgent questions during your reservation, please call (212) 535-3553
  • Other questions or concerns please email us at info@pingpod.com

While we are excited to get back to the sport we all love we urge you to stay safe in- and outside of the pod.

See you at the tables!
