Get Out of the House and Into the Bowling Alley

Bowling is not just for Homer Simpson, Fred Flinstone or Ralph Kramden. It's for everyone! And it's this week's Great Escape.

Now that we’re off the sugar high of chocolates, mushy cards and maybe flowers from Valentine’s Day, consider a totally different way of spending a few evening hours with your sweetie.

Go bowling. Yup, bowling.

If you’re competitive, play to win. Or just go for a change of pace and have fun.

The , 32 Montvale Ave., offers special rates on Tuesday and Sunday evenings, when the lanes tend to be kid-free.

On Twisted Tuesdays, bowl for up to three hours between 7 and 10 p.m. for $10 per person. Shoe rentals are free.

On Glow Bowl Super Sundays, the charge is $15 per lane per hour between 6 and 10 p.m. Shoe rentals are $2.50 per person. These rates apply for up to six people, so you could make it a couples’ night out.

If you’re home by 10, you might even be able to get a sitter on a school night.

Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier—and at least a little bit more fun here in our feature (now on Fridays!).
