This Queens bowling alley is an anachronism and an oasis


Astoria Bowl is a something of landmark in the Queens borough of New York City, a struggling business inside a massive building where time has seemingly stopped. Turtle Down Films created this lovely short documentary (shot before COVID-19) about this "anachronism, a vestige of the sport's mid-century heyday era… an oasis in the truest sense of the word, a place of pure recreation and levity in a city where life tends to be serious and weighty."


This is A Place To Bowl.
