Grand Prix New York Adds 19-Lane Bowling Center to Its Mount Kisco Facility
Mount Kisco, NY (PRWEB) September 26, 2011
On Wednesday, November 9, Grand Prix New York (GPNY) will open Spins Bowl, a new 19-lane bowling center inside GPNY’s 118,000-square-foot indoor kart racing and entertainment facility in Mount Kisco, NY.
The Grand Opening festivities commence at 6:00 p.m. with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by speeches from state, county and local dignitaries. Then at 7:00 p.m. Spins Bowl will be christened with a unique “Roll-Off”: 19 VIPs simultaneously rolling their bowling balls down their respective lanes. After which, guests will be encouraged to bowl and tour the facility until the ceremony ends at 9:00 p.m.
On the following day, Spins Bowl will be open to the public. The 30,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art bowling center consists of 12 “Family Lanes” and 7 “VIP Lanes” with images of cityscapes from New York, chicago, and L.A. splashed across the walls. Both Family and VIP Lanes come complete with video panels, electronic scoring, and plush lounge and lane-side seating. The VIP Lanes feature private rooms with leather furniture, TVs, and exclusive dining table service provided by Fuel, the in-house restaurant/caterer of Spins Bowl and GPNY.
Spins Bowl’s hours of operation will run from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., 7 days a week. Cost of entry will range from $ 25 per hour to $ 40 per hour depending on the time of day. VIP lanes cost an extra $ 5 per hour. Patrons will also have the option of renting out the Family Lanes, the VIP Lanes, or the entire center for activities such as birthday parties, mitzvahs, corporate functions, and other group events. These group rentals give bowlers a minimum of 2 hours of bowling time, including Cosmic Bowling –glow-in-the-dark bowling with a dance club atmosphere that rocks the center with a state-of-the-art sound system and laser lights – use of billiards, table tennis, a party room, free shoe rental for all guests, and Brunswick Bowl bowling equipment.
“It is imperative in this stagnate economy, while other businesses are scaling back or holding steady, that GPNY expand,” said Nat Mundy, Vice President, Marketing for GPNY and Spins Bowl. “By creating Spins Bowl, we’re tapping into the number one participatory sport in America according to The National Sporting Goods Association and the Bowling Billiards Institute of America. This doesn’t just mean increased traffic for us, it means new tourism and money flowing into the village of Mount Kisco and Westchester County in general. The Spins Bowl expansion is our investment in the future. It means we’re here to stay.”
Mundy went on to say that one of the major reasons for the popularity of bowling is the fact that people from the age of three years on up can bowl, and items such as gutter rails and ball ramps – which Spins Bowl provides – make the sport enjoyable for young and old alike. Mundy also pointed out that Spins Bowl will be open for league bowling and competitions.
Spins Bowl, like GPNY, will also continue its tradition of hosting charitable events. On November 18, just 10 days after its Grand Opening, Spins Bowl will be hosting the “Strikes Against Cancer Bowl-A-Thon” to raise funds for Support Connection, a Yorktown Heights-based charity that aids families and women suffering from breast and ovarian cancer. Spins Bowl currently has at least four fundraising events booked through the end of the year.

NBA 2K10 Recreations. MJ always thrived when playing in Madison Square Garden. Featured here is Jordan’s First Game at MSG in 1984, The Posterizing Dunk on Ewing in 1991, The 55 Point Comeback in 1995, and his Last Game at MSG as a member of the chicago Bulls in 1998.
It was the way Michael Jordan kept hitting his shots as the Knicks kept hitting flesh. And it was obvious that no matter what the circumstances, the color of this rivalry had not faded without Patrick Ewing. The evidence spilled onto the floor at Madison Square Garden last night as each Knick who was fed up with the prickly Dennis Rodman shoved, tripped or barked at him. Pick one, Larry Johnson, John Starks or Charles Oakley. The trio displayed the kind of anger and aggression that provided the only chance the Knicks had to beat Jordan. And yet, just as Jordan has done throughout his career, he ruined the best group effort by the Knicks, gathering a remarkable 44 points as the Bulls won, 90-89. “I thought we had tremendous effort,” Knicks Coach Jeff Van Gundy said. “We were beaten by a championship-caliber team, by the greatest player ever probably. We had our opportunities.” The victory was not assured until Chris Childs missed a 3-pointer just before the buzzer as the Knicks declined to call a timeout to set up a final play. “I would have gone inside, but I didn’t think I would have gotten the call,” Childs said. “I thought the shot I took was good. It just didn’t go in this time.” Suddenly, the additions the Knicks have made to surround Ewing with complementary players were on the spot against chicago last night. More attention was on Houston, though. He had Jordan, but Jordan got the best of him in the second half. “I don’t think I got the job done in the second half …
Guarding Michael Jordan during a playoff game intimidates some players. It inspired John Starks. Crushing Chicago’s spirit with his 3-point shooting and giving Jordan fits with his defense, Starks led New York to a 98-90 victory in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference championship series yesterday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. It was a significant victory for the Knicks, who were determined not to lose the home-court advantage they had worked all season to attain. They won their 26th consecutive home game using the same formula that has worked all season — suffocating defense, dominating rebounding and timely shooting. Jordan (27 points) shot a dismal 10 for 27 from the field, including 2 for 9 during the final period, the time when Jordan usually dominates. It was also a significant defeat for chicago, which had won seven straight playoff games this season. Starks (25 points) was magnificent, setting a Knick playoff record by making five 3-point shots. Three of them came during a five-minute fourth-quarter barrage that helped the Knicks build an 88-79 lead with four minutes to play, a lead they never lost. Everyone expected the Starks-versus-Jordan battle to be a major factor in the series. Round 1 went to Starks. “I don’t even remember when Starks was in the CBA, and I don’t remember when he first came into the league,” said Jordan, referring to the minor league Continental Basketball Association. “But I know he’s here now.” And Starks had plenty of help. Patrick …
It was a typical Knicks’ playoff victory, with drama, sensational defense, and physical play that led to ejections and heated emotions. The Chicago Bulls mounted a furious comeback, but New York made a game-winning stand in the final minute. John Starks made a spectacular driving, left-handed dunk that energized the crowd and his teammates. Charles Oakley dominated both backboards and made clutch free throws. And the Knicks remained masters of Madison Square Garden, where they have won 27 consecutive games. Taking another step toward dethroning the two-time NBA champions, the Knicks outwilled the Bulls, 96-91, in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference championship series last night. The victory gave New York a two-games-to-none lead in the four-of-seven-game series. And it gave the Bulls plenty to think about before the series shifts to Chicago for Game 3 on Saturday afternoon. Once again, the Knicks’ frontline dominated, outrebounding the Bulls, 45-34. Once again, Michael Jordan (36 points, 12-for-32 shooting) faded late in the game, shooting just 5 for 16 in the second half after a 25-point first half. And once again, New York’s multi-dimensional defense controlled the Bulls’ two-dimensional offense of Jordan and Scottie Pippen (17 points). “We had a 14-point lead, they came back, but we weathered the storm,” said Knicks Coach Pat Riley. “We’re up 2-0 going to chicago, and that’s what we wanted. I think our team’s confident. We held service, now the pressure does revert to …
A proud team that had been criticized and scrutinized came crashing down on the Knicks today. And the Knicks cracked under the strain. Making a strong statement that they are far from finished, the Chicago Bulls pounded the Knicks, 103-83, this afternoon at chicago Stadium in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference championship series. The victory cut the Knicks’ edge to 2-1 in the four-of-seven-game series, with Game 4 to be played here Monday afternoon. The Bulls returned to their home court, and returned to the form that has won them back-to-back NBA titles. They embarrassed and frustrated the Knicks, who eventually lost their poise. John Starks was ejected with 9 minutes to play, receiving two technical fouls for charging after Michael Jordan. Although Starks accused Jordan of throwing an elbow and sticking a finger in his face, Starks’s reaction was another indication of his temper getting the best of him. The Bulls rattled the Knicks early with their full-court press, eventually forcing New York into 20 turnovers. This was exactly the kind of performance the Knicks wanted to avoid. They were tentative offensively. They lost their aggressiveness, outrebounding Chicago just 35-30 after dominating that department in the previous two games. Other than Patrick Ewing (21 points), no Knick stepped up offensively. And New York’s defense was porous, giving up 62 points in the first half. After a collapse like this, the Knicks had a lot to think about. The Bulls were simply too …
