Locally, some of the options include Leo's Metro Bowl in Peabody, Andy’s Sunnyside Bowladrome in Danvers, the Bowl-O-Mat in Beverly and Cape Ann Lanes in Gloucester.
5. It's the end of an era for Hilltop Steak House. The iconic restaurant just down Route 1 in Saugus will close its doors Oct. 20. You can read more about why here.
