Next, it's time for bowling Boston-style, with candle-pin bowling. Before hitting the lanes, you have the option to pick up a beverage to bring over to this classic neighborhood bowling alley which encourages you to BYOB. Built in 1950, this bowling alley hasn't changed much, with manual scoring, a gravity-powered ball return, and wood paneling completing the retro atmosphere. After bowling a few frames, you come to love this New England pastime. If bowling isn't available, we make our way over to one of the neighborhood billiards halls where we have a chance to play a game of pool together. Grab a beer, enjoy the music, and chat with the locals at the pool table, to really get a feel for what this neighborhood is all about.
