“Those bowling alleys in Manhattan aren’t really lanes — they’re nightclubs,” said Jim Farago, 69, who owns Van Nest Lanes, on Bronxdale Avenue just east of the Bronx Zoo. Van Nest has barely changed a lick since it opened in 1960. Original rows of aqua-colored, attached seating faces sleek orange and yellow ball racks. At the end of the 16 lanes of well-worn wood are majestic pinsetter machines, vintage Brunswick beauties in cool spearmint green. “You’re not going to find wood lanes or scoring on paper, as far as I know, anywhere else in New York,” said Jim, who handles just about every task, from stocking the 5-seat snack bar to spraying deodorizer in the bowling shoes. The prices at Van Nest — $25 an hour and no charge for shoes, which @karstenmoran photographed here — are far less than at Manhattan lanes, too. Jim, who grew up 4 blocks away, began working at Van Nest in his teens as a pin chaser, “doing the same thing I’m doing now.” He scoffed when asked about possibly upgrading the alley’s vintage equipment. “It’s not going to happen,” he said. “Not in my lifetime.” #?
