Lovers’ Lane, Bowling Lane That Is

Posted on 16 January 2012 by KristenM

The best place to find love these days isn’t at a bar. Apparently it’s not even online on websites like Match.com or OKCupid. It’s at Brooklyn Bowl on Wednesday nights. Brooklynites who are tired of the bar scene might want to try their hand at a singles bowling league. Jake Reuben, founder of Singles Social Sports, wanted to launch a winter league after the success of his softball league.

There are about 100 members divided into eight teams, four guys and four girls on each team. The league lasts seven weeks, giving you plenty of time to potentially find a mate, or at least some people who know how to handle large balls. But don’t feel ashamed if you need bumpers. No one is expecting you to be that great. Actually, the worse you are, the more adorable you look to others. Or at least that works to a woman’s advantage. Even if you don’t find your soulmate, the fee is only $100 which is much cheaper than going to Brooklyn Bowl on your own.

Get a cute pair of bowling shoes, because those ugly shoes are totally in, and see if you can manage a love strike –dorky pun intended.

SEA: Brooklyn’s Hottest Thai Restaurant

Posted on 11 January 2010 by Sarah

Dazzling a date over burgers and fries is a task best left to professionals. For the rest of us, a trendy restaurant with something interesting on the menu is usually the way to go.

Enter SEA, a destination for Thai cuisine with a decidedly modern flair. From the presentation to the ambiance, SEA comes off as a chic Williamsburg nightclub… with noodles.

SEA’s menu is as memorable as its décor—that is, if you can tear yourself away from the swinging benches and pod seating.  Despite the name, SEA offers a diverse range of courses with a subtle nod toward ocean cuisine, guaranteed to satisfy even dates without their sea legs. When in doubt, the Pad Thai and “Drunk Man” Noodles are dependably delectable.

Of course, nothing is trendier nowadays than saving money, which is great, since entrées at SEA are priced at only $10 to $15.

SEA is located at 114 North 6th Street, off the Bedford Avenue stop along the L. (718) 384-8850.
