    Lucky Strike Lanes

    Location: 650 West 42nd Street

    It's hard to carry on an uninterrupted conversation, especially when you've just met someone. Remember when smoking inside bars was par for the course? Cigarettes allowed for natural breaks in palavers. While drinking, mingling, meeting, and flirting, people need a distraction. Bar games like darts, pool, and foose ball have long been popular. Not only do they allow much needed conversation respite, but they also give participants a point, a thesis to the night. Furthermore, competition amplifies and eases flirtation and provides a method with which to showcase prowess. So why not bar bowling? Lucky Strike Lanes has set up shop in several major outposts around the country. Come October, New York will finally get a taste of schwank pins and ball holes.

    Unlike the traditional bowling alley, you won't find Homer Simpson here. Instead, Lucky Strike aims for a lounge vibe. Offering a contempo menu, cocktails, and plush seating -- oh, and lanes aplenty -- it's a new generation bowling alley.

    Look for Lucky Strike Lanes New York in mid-October.
