Lucky Strike Bowling Alley

Offline map Google map ( 646-829-0170; www.bowlluckystrike.com; 624 W 42nd St; individual games from $12, shoe rental $6; noon-2am Sun-Thu, to 4am Fri & Sat; A/C/E to 42nd St-Port Authority Bus Terminal) One of the world’s few bowling alleys with a dress code, Lucky Strike has pricey drinks, plush lounge fittings and a fashion-conscious crowd – which makes the whole experience more akin to a nightclub than a bowling alley. Reservations are recommended.

New York Knicks Basketball

Offline map Google map ( 212-465-6073, tickets 866-858-0008; www.nyknicks.com; Madison Square Garden, Seventh Ave btwn 31st & 33rd Sts; tickets $13-330; A/C/E, 1/2/3 to 34th St-Penn Station) Occasional scandal aside, NYC loves its blue-and-orange basketball team. Indeed, the first song to popularize hip-hop gives it up for the beloved Knickerbockers (Sugar Hill Gang sings ‘I have a color TV so I can watch the Knicks play basketball’). Yet, despite big crowds of Spike Lee and 18,999 others at the Garden, the Knicks haven’t won a championship since 1973.
