And You Assumed Manhattan Was High Brow . . .

The FYI column finally addresses that nagging Where-in-Manhattan-can-one-play-Skee-ball? question:

Have no fear. You can find Skee-Ball in Lazer Park, an arcade at 163 West 46th Street, east of Seventh Avenue. In addition, Dave & Buster’s, a Dallas restaurant-and-arcade chain, is opening a branch with Skee-Ball on April 5 in the heart of Times Square, at 234 West 42nd Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.

This doesn’t pretend to be a complete list, but there are Skee-Ball lanes in Coney Island arcades, as well as four Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant-arcades, in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

For those who have never seen Skee-Ball, players score points by rolling balls up a ramp toward holes of various sizes, separated by circular dividers. The harder a hole is to reach, the more it is worth.
