My friend invited me out to pizza & bowling in Cambridge. Bowling alleys used to be scuzzy and filled with smoke but as I've discovered that without all that smoke and grime, bowling alleys are a really fun place to be.
We put down our names for an alley and sat down for some pizza while we waited. (If the lanes look busy, put down your name and order some pizza! It took us almost an hour to get a lane.) The tables are made from bowling lanes and the seats are old bowling booths. The bar stretches along the side of the lanes so you can watch people bowl, or we chose a booth facing the giant brick oven-- it looked like a brick igloo. The pizza is made from fresh, local ingredients. We order a summer vegetable pizza which was amazing!! Each veggie has a great taste and crunch but don't expect 8 triangle slices, they have their own way of slicing up a pie. The beers are also local brew and we had a few of those too. I loved that most of the ingredients were from local farmers and organic. I think that more businesses should support farmers markets and buy local produce. It's a great promotional point too!
The bowling is candle pin. Smaller balls, smaller pins. You get 3 rolls to knock down all the pins. Remember to keep score though, this isn't automatic. Also-- don't forget to "push the button" after your turn.
Love it!?
