    Time Out New York / Issue 622 : Aug 30–Sep 5, 2007

    Strip mining

    Who doesn’t love photo booths?!? Here’s a guide to the best ones in the city.

    By Rachel Sokol

    Photo booths
    Bubby's
    Photo: Scott Wooledge

    Bubby’s
    120 Hudson St at North Moore St (212-219-0666)
    1 Main St between Plymouth and Water Sts, Dumbo, Brooklyn (718-222-0666)
    Price $3 for four (b&w)
    Selling point While they’re famous for their pies, both locations also offer a slew of comfort foods like gravy-smothered meat loaf and macaroni and cheese—best ingested after you’ve posed.

    Bushwick Country Club
    618 Grand St at Leonard St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-388-2114)
    Price $3 for four (b&w)
    Selling point The jukebox plays the best of the ’80s, action figures and lunch boxes decorate the walls, and you can play minigolf right outside the bar.

    Photo booths

    Coney Island Surf Ave at Atlantic Ave (718-946-1350)
    Price $3 for four (color)
    Selling point Though there’s an array of sticker photo booths, the authentic original is just by the Wonder Wheel.

    Dave & Buster’s
    234 W 42nd St between Seventh and Eighth Aves (212-769-3678)
    Price $4.10 or 20 chips (with a minimum of a $5 Power Card purchase) for four (color)
    Selling point A “photomorph” booth—when you and your fellow “victim” have your photos snapped, your images will be morphed together to create the image of what your child might look like. You can also blend your photo with that of an animal, or get a computer-generated new “look.” Whoa. Prints come out on a postcard.

    Photo booths
    Kmart

    Kmart
    770 Broadway at Astor Pl (212-673-1540)
    Price $5 gets you either a strip of four, or one big single photo (color and b&w)
    Selling point If the shot isn’t flattering, you can retake photos before printing.

    Photo booths
    Lakeside Lounge
    Photo: Beth Levendis

    Lakeside Lounge
    162 Ave B at 10th St (212-529-8463)
    Price $4 for four (b&w)
    Selling point They just might immortalize you by putting your shots on lakesidelounge.com, plus the kitschy hillbilly vibe is a nice escape from everyday New York.

    Manhattan Mall
    100 W 33rd St at Sixth Ave (212-465-0500)
    Price $3 for four (color)
    Selling point Close to the food court and the Aqua Massagers, the Photo-Me booth is just downstairs from Steve & Barry’s, which features Sarah Jessica Parker’s everything-under-$20 clothing line, Bitten.

    Niagra
    112 Ave A at St. Marks Pl (212-420-9517)
    Price $4 for four (color)
    Selling point This bar is so big that you can escape from the freako hitting on you by hiding out in another party room on another floor. The basement level is generally less crowded and features more-intimate rooms lined with benches.

    Photo booths
    Otto's Shrunken Head

    Otto’s Shrunken Head
    538 E 14th St at Ave A (212-228-2240)
    Price $4 for four (b&w)
    Selling point The Kills used the booth at this heavy-metal–themed bar to shoot images for their album covers.

    Ricky’s
    112 W 72nd St between Columbus Ave and Broadway (212-769-3678)
    Price $3 for four (color)
    Selling point You can add “extras”: a border, a background or even a new hairstyle.

    Union Pool
    484 Union Ave at Meeker Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-609-0484)
    Price $3 for four (b&w)
    Selling point An outside patio provides the perfect place to enjoy late-summer weather.

      This site is all kindsa messed up!! First of all Niagara isn't at st. Marks it's at 7th-duh. and B Lakeside doesn't have a "Hillbilly vibe" this is incorrect!! It has a Blues, Motown, Soul, old school country and Rock n Roll vibe-uhg! and 3- Otto's isn't a Heavy Metal themed bar, it's a tiki themed rock n roll bar and it's not at ave A it's closer to ave B. Who wrote these descriptions anyway? Have you ever been to these bars? There's a surf board in Otto's for Pete's sake--That's pretty Metal...Philthy
