ADOHRES
📍 Manhattan, NY
Manhattan claw machine arcade on the Lower East Side with fair machines, staff who help reposition for better chances, and a trade-in system for Pokémon cards, blind boxes, and collectibles. Photo booth on site.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids who collect Pokémon cards, Labubu figures, or blind boxes. Staff involvement makes claw machines far less frustrating than typical arcades, and the trade-in system means smaller wins convert into prizes kids actually want. Elementary school age and up get the most from the trading mechanics.

“Hidden gem in lower east side Manhattan, this newly opened arcade spot has quite a lot of claw machines and a cute big photo booth for the amount of space it can fit. The machines were also fair and the workers were friendly and even help you reposition for a better chance at the prize. They also let you trade in your small winnings for anything you want as long as you got enough points. Shoutout to the owner, Jona, for making this a fun and pleasant experience.”

“Looks like a fairly new arcade spot in the neighborhood. Claw machines are easy to win and you can trade your plushies in for a blind box of your choice (talking to you crazy Labubu fanatics). But I got a bit too trigger happy and used all my tokens on the Pokemon/One Piece card vending machines… Definitely recommend checking it out!”
