Bowling is typically thought of as a suburban pastime, but New York City is home to several popular bowling alleys. Midtown West's Frames Bowling Lounge will host the 12th Annual Paul Rudd All-Star Bowling Benefit for charity on Monday, November 17, and alleys like Lucky Strike in Chelsea and Times Square, Brooklyn Bowl in Greenpoint, and Bowl360 in Astoria are popular venues for large group outings or smaller leisure activities. While fun at any time of year, indoor sports like bowling take on new appreciation as New York City days get shorter and colder.
Additionally, bowling lanes have emerged as a leisure amenity in residential buildings like the ones below. These are the perfect place to practice for a corporate outing, host a birthday party, or enjoy indoor entertainment on a winter day.
