We Got Game

Alterna-Bowl Picks

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, the Super Bowl is in town.

You could spend four hours watching lame commercials and halftime acts. But you’d rather get out of the house. (Really, who hasn’t seen Prince’s nipple?) Time for alternative programming.

Start your morning with the Breakfast Bowl: Grab a few people and hit every free hotel breakfast you can find on Collins. Whoever uncovers the best spread wins. (Extra points for omelet stations.) 

Next, make your way to the closest municipal park — big red bouncy ball in tow — for the Kick Bowl. You know the rules: Punt, run, and don’t get pelted.

Relax tired muscles in the Spa Bowl. The Sports Club/LA just unveiled new treatments, like traditional Tibetan marma (pressure-point) massage to align your chakras. Score one for mind, body, and soul.

Finally, it’s time for the Soul Bowl. Head to Magnum Lounge (709 Northeast 79th Street; 305-757-3368), a karaoke-style piano bar where you’re sure to get shown up by the regulars.

But please, no Super Bowl Shuffle.
