BOWLMOR TIMES SQUARE OPENING

As if Times Square needed even more of a reason to draw a crowd! Bowlmor Lanes recently opened its doors for the first time to a host of attractive attendees including John Legend and girlfriend Christine Teigen, Brittny Gastineau, and NJ Housewife Danielle Staub. Guests enjoyed a night of free bowling in the seven bowling "lounges" spread across two floors. They also nibbled on tasty treats like mini tacos, pork dumplings, and vegetable spring rolls from executive chef David Burke.

While I did not put my bowling skills to the test, I did enjoy the festive atmosphere while waiting for John Legend to perform. (Sadly he did not, turns out he was only there to "hang out"). I guess celebrities get to enjoy a little leisure time too.
