It put us in such a good mood that we decided to go over the bridge to Tribeca after, for the Family Fun Day, which was still a distant second to the American Express event.<\/p>\n<p>We got to the bowling alley in time to get situated with sustenance before a screening of the animated film, <em>Moon Man<\/em>, began. It was so fun to see a whole bunch of cute kids sitting in oversized beanbag chairs, staring up at the giant screens.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14446\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Picture-6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14446\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14446\" alt=\"The main buffet.

There were buffets set-up in a few areas of the spacious bowling alley\/party space. On the menu was hummus and pita, chicken wings with sauces, two kinds of corn on the cob (plain and fancy,) mac n cheese, two kinds of fries, (see the corn notation,) and non-breaded chicken nuggets. Who could need more?<\/p>\n<p>But the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance, to me and mine, was the brownies for dessert. They were perhaps the best ones I&#8217;ve ever had! I could have eaten an entire platter by my lonesome!<\/p>\n<p>Most of the guests also bowled, but my broken back, and Anita&#8217;s growing pregnancy, prevented us from participating. But I loved the playing area, and hope to be back when I&#8217;m all healed-up.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14448\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Picture-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14448\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14448\" alt=\"The &quot;wheel of gifts.&quot; Photo by Bryan Bedder\/Getty Images for American Express.\" src=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Picture-4-e1398898718434-300x261.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Picture-4-e1398898718434-300x261.png 300w, https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Picture-4-e1398898718434.png 386w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The &#8220;wheel of gifts.&#8221; Photo by Bryan Bedder\/Getty Images for American Express.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The fun actually began before one laced-up the bowling shoes or ate a bite or drank a sip; as we entered, we each got to spin a wheel of prizes.
