The Last Place on Earth

Open on Graham Avenue since a pandemic-era launch in March 2020, this board game cafe has hosted events as varied as Dungeons and Dragons meetups, Pilates classes and comedy shows. More than 1,000 board games line the shelves, backed by a running calendar of D&D sessions, murder mysteries and one-shot RPGs. It doesn't sell coffee or alcohol, just sodas, seltzers and tea, and lets people bring in outside food (there's a deli and a bar across the street if you need either). A session runs a flat rate for two hours, with a day pass for anyone staying longer, and groups of eight or more should reserve ahead; anything smaller is walk-in.
