    The rock 'n' roll fries are the pinnacle of salty deliciousness. Worth the high blood pressure that is bound to occur afterward.

    Fried chicken and collard greens is serious. Also check their awesome beer selection, lots of fancier Brooklyn Brewery.

    Brooklyn bowl? try Disney bowl! so much money was spend on trying to make this look gritty and authentic (and failing), this felt more like a movie set then a cool place to hang out.

    More of a club than a bowling alley. Live music/DJs, dance floors, and several bars in this old converted factory.
