Want to be fashionable? Forget Ralph Lauren. Think Ralph Kramden. The newest New York City hotspots--complete with bouncers and velvet ropes--are upscale bowling alleys ("True Economic Barometer? How About Bowling").
Bowling. It's not just for overweight Rotarians anymore.
And the beautiful people frequenting the alleys sometimes don't even bowl well--if at all. Some are just there for the atmosphere. And of course the drinks. White Russians, perhaps? It would make sense: A semi-well-known piece of Lebowskiana is that, throughout the entire movie, the Dude never actually bowls. (And if anyone out there is asking "What movie?". . . . Well, we're just sad, that's all.)
