Ping Pong? Yes, Please!
Pickleball, we love you. But let’s be clear, you are not the only game in town. Anyone want to meet up for some table tennis?!
In collaboration with Hoboken’s HITT (Happiness in Table Tennis), the innovative company PingPod brings Ping Pong (aka table tennis) to Downtown Newport. Started by a small group of business innovators and serious ping pong competitors, PingPod is expanding across the East Coast (Philly, Boston, NY, NJ) and it’s easy to see why this brilliant concept is taking off. For one, it couldn’t be easier. It’s all self-service for one. You sign up online and a code is given that allows you to unlock the entrance, where you can play with friends while the location is monitored remotely. At the Jersey City location, there are four tables to reserve, either single or doubles. Balls and paddles are all provided. Secondly, it’s so convenient and cheap! Tables rent for $10 for the half hour off peak and $15 during prime reservation hours. There is digital scoring and even instant replay, if you are serious about your game (there are also coaching lessons available). Many locations are open 24/7. In Jersey City, they are open from 6am – 12am except on weekends when they stay open until 1am. A small selection of drinks and snacks is available for automated purchase onsite and PingPod is available for booking private parties too.
The first step is to set up an account online and then go ahead and set up your first game. Let us know if you want to match up!
