Machines disappearing. Places closing down. Remaining machines not improving. Pretty much the biggest problem with this state when it comes to dancing games. Anyone seem to know why this state?

It all depends on the owners and maintenance.
It also relies on the fanbase to push the owners or whomever to take the next step to fix/update.

Dave & Buster's in Times Square has a DDR X dedicab, with halfway decent pads, despite its design. I was there on Saturday for the first time in 2 years and tried it out.

Peter Pan Games in Bayside, Queens has a DDR X2 (Asia preview version, pad codes do not work) machine, upgraded from SuperNOVA. Pads are in excellent condition, but (IMO) the machine has to be moved. The machine is right next to a basketball game, which the 1P pad nearly touch.

The only other arcades I frequent for smashing arrows are also only open seasonally (April October). El Dorado Arcade has an EXTREME and ITG2 (I believe r16), while the Deno's Wonder Wheel Arcade has a SuperNOVA dedicab.

I am aware of the X & X2 parts, but they don't exactly sound like much. And, I am also fully aware of Coney Island's machines. The only problem is, how is the ITG2 machine only an R16, if it has USB slots?

Best I could do for upstate is Woodbury Commons. Don't have a car, and no one I know is willing to take me to Crystal Run just yet. I checked for buses that go from Westchester to Middletown. They are in existence, but the service frequency leaves little to be desired. What exactly is up north over there, may I ask?

Well, here's a glimmer of hope for the Capital Region (Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga, Troy etc....)

I know the D&B's back home in RI had a Pump It Up Fiesta, and a newer D&B's in Braintree, MA has a DDR X2. So, there's hope. It's set to open sometime in 2013.

The only way a D & B is going to be any form of surprise to me, is if this one somehow actually gets ITG2 machine, potentially making it the first D & B in the entire country to have an ITG2 machine. Annoyed

"かっこいい〜〜!"
These are some locations I know that have notable dancing games:

Peter Pan Games of Bayside: It has DDR X2 and ITG 2 in one cabinet. But it does get annoying with the basketball game next to it, it keeps interrupting gameplay. Also, the last time I played X2, it keeps zooming in then out sometimes, haven't seen this happen to ITG2. There's also PIU NX, but I can really care less about that.

Chinatown Fair: If you like PIU Fiesta EX, then go here. They are supposed to also have a hacked ITG cabinet, but I'm pretty sure that isn't going to happen for a long time. It's been 2? Months that they've said this.

Dave & Busters (Old Country Road): This has SuperNOVA 2, tends to be crowded. Token line applies here.

But yes, I can agree there are barely any dancing machines here in NY. Sad
Tokens'n'Tickets (QCM) was my local arcade, I can literally walk there. It's a shame that it was closed down... Cry
Astoria Theater had an Extreme Cabinet, which is annoying because there's like a billion of those here, but still got removed.
