In a
previous blog from 2013 “For Getting Lucky In and Out of the Gutter: “Lucky
Strike” (http://thequeenoff-ckingeverything.blogspot.com/2013/02/for-getting-lucky-in-and-out-of-gutter.html)
I spoke about my first visit to this glamorous bowling alley.
Three
years ago, to celebrate my thirty-second birthday, I put together an outing. I
had been interested in for a long time, Lucky Strikes. It is a twenty-one and
over bowling alley/lounge/billiard room/dance club. It was a perfect fit.
This time
it was a surprise party for my best friend to celebrate her thirty-fifth
birthday. Since I had already planned one of these outings already I knew the
drill. The week before book a reservation after you have nailed down how many
guests you are expecting. You will be expected to pay for the lane and shoes
the day you book. From there it is up to you whether or not you want to choose
which food/beverage plan your party will enjoy. If you do that too will have to
be prepaid. Either way you are required to spend fifteen dollars per person on
food and drinks. That is easy to do. We waited until we were there to choose
what we wanted. It was easier and less stressful that way. You can eat and
drink without restrictions.
I
remembered how much I loved the food the last time I was there.
“I also MUST mention the food. I
have never had such good “bar” food. I thought sliders and chicken kabobs would
be good choices but I had no idea we would eat so much or want so much. We had
an artichoke spinach dip I want to be smothered in. I to this day am still
craving their chicken apple brie quesadillas. It is the best chicken dish I ever
ate and if the Food Network calls me I will be sure to tell them so.”
This time
there was a brand new menu but the food was still excellent. We had the
sliders, chicken sandwich with a side of potato chips a.k.a. small French
fries, chips with salsa and guacamole, and spinach artichoke pizza. I think
that pizza was the best. It was like dip on flatbread pizza. I could have eaten
that all night long. But the sliders are my second favorite. Maybe it is
something about food presented as sharable snacks.
The lanes
were still fun and still played good music that made you want to dance as you
bowled. In fact the man in the lane next to us was having the time of his life.
His moves were something I couldn’t get enough of and that is not because they
were good. More importantly I think he was sober which leaves me questioning
his motives all the more. I could have made another great entertaining night
just hanging out at Lucky Strike drinking, eating, and watching that guy dance
his ball down the alley. It’s not as dirty as it sounds although I am not
against that either.
Bottom
line is that we all had another great girls night out at Lucky Strike. It is a
perfect spot no matter what your agenda is.
The menu
might have changed but Lucky Strikes remains a hot spot for in and for New York
City.
