Lucky Strike - Last time bowling was cool, it was cosmic bowling in junior high. Not anymore. Bowling has become posh at Lucky Strike. Don’t believe us? Walk in and notice the dimness of the room, not due to cosmic bowling, but because round orange lights hang from the ceiling. Take a gander at the menu: citrus chicken, beef teriyaki and coconut shrimp is quite a departure from hot dogs and pretzels. In fact, if socializing over small plates and cocktails is more up your alley, like the signature Lucky Strike (Absolut Mandarin, blue caracao and peach schnapps….definitely a new take on the beverage of choice for bowlers), take a seat on a leather couch in the wine bar and instead watch other people bowl, including clips of bowling scenes from old movies on plasma screens at the end of each lane.
