SUMMER REGISTRATION
~{Romantic Evening of BowlingandDining æ
With over 150 active organiza~ tíons in Co-opCity, there is much ~ to keep residents of, all ages "'"' occupied seven days a week. But let's face it, so~etimes_you i:i:: want to do something a little ~ different, something that's not ~ offered by facilities within our ck community. ~ Fortunately, there is now a '\:~ thoroughly enjoyable alternative · ·;: not more than five minutes away ¡.,. from Co-op City. It's called the Eo-1 Moonlight BowlingSpecial -it's ö fun and so inexpensive you'll find ~ it hard to pass up. Q This special is offered by the Astor Restaurant, located on 2300 Eastchester Road (by Waring Avenue). For $6, you can enjoy a fine dinner from a select offering of some of the Ator's most popular dishes, and then top off the evening bowling a couple of games in the Astor's romantically lit bowling room. All taxes and tips are included. According to Ann LoCasio, who with her husband Ross helped turn the Astor from a simple 30 seat eatery into a deluxe 225 seat restaurant offering excellent cuísine, the Bowling Special is "the perfect family activity." "No one's too young or too old to participate in bowling," Ann says, "H's one of the few activities that anyone from 9 to 90 can take part in and enjoy." The Astor offers modern, fullyequipped lanes which, according to a recent Daily News survey,

are among the finest bowling facilities in the city. And chances are, you've never bowled to candlelíght before - it's exciting for the whole family an~ a thrill for couples. Cue magazine, as well, gave its stamp of approval to the Astor, placing the establishment OD: its "highly recommended" list. The Moonlight Bowling Special includes a selection of hot turkey, eggplant parmígíania casserole, deep fried shrimp, veal cutlet, meatball parmigiana hero or a hamburger special, each accompanted by salad, french fries and soda, tea, coffee or beer. We tried the eggplant parmigíana and the shrimp - both dishes were excellent. The eggplant was meaty with plenty of cheese and well complemented with a fine, thick, home-made tomato sauce. The six large breaded shrimps were quite tasty, but were even better after a dunking in a creamy, garlicky shrimp dressing. The Astor. is. an attractive dining establishment, and that is due in no small measure to the fact
