Bowling is known to be a laid-back and family friendly sport. But what makes bowling interesting besides watching family members succeed in throwing the ball into the gutter? Nothing much. Well, a well-known company with the name of Splitsville Luxury Lanes is coming to New York. With locations in Texas, Massachusetts, Virginia and Florida, the Lower East Side can now gladly be the fifth home for this luxury style bowling alley.
So what makes this bowling alley chain so luxury and more attractive than others? The fact that it serves sushi, rice bowls, hand-tossed pizza and calamari. The bowling alley will take up 17,000-square-feet of space at the massive site of 1 Essex Crossing Development near Delancey and Essex streets.
Not only will customers be enjoying the food and the bowling, but there will be a movie theater next door so customers can enjoy a relaxing movie after bowling. Regal Cinemas will also be joining Splitsville Luxury Lane at the Essex Crossing Development site and will be taking up 120,000 square feet.
Essex Crossing Development is a huge property that takes up nine blocks between Delancey and Essex Streets. With the new projects of building a bowling alley and a movie theater, 1,000 residential units will be made in which half of them will be considered affordable. This project is deemed to be finished by late 2017 or early 2018, with construction beginning in June 2015.
