Gothamist: Tonight, Ping-Pong at Southpaw

"Ping-Pong is the new 8-track." Apparently. There were, like, only two people utilizing the equipment when I stopped in for a beer last night. And the pinball machine: slow table.

And when the ping pong table is taken, you can play Southpaw's pinball machine. It's like being 12 again, except for the booze.

That sign looks like it could have been designed from our friend at firstpersonsingular. who happens to live right around the corner from southpaw.

This past summer the Cynthia Rowley shop in the Hamptons had a Ping-Pong table set up, complete with balls and paddles. I'm not sure if I saw the Jack Spade paddle-and-ball bag there or at the Jack spade shop. Anyways, is Ping-Pong the new bowling?
