Title: Nightlife Goes Green
Abstract: Brooklyn, NY — Pioneering nightlife innovation to draw larger crowds is a simple formula for Peter Shapiro: offer 16 lanes of bowling, big name concerts, video on 16 large high-definition TVs, a menu created by the Blue Ribbon restaurants and most importantly, go green. His new venue, Brooklyn Bowl, was built according to the strict standards of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program; thus, the club is extremely efficient in its use of water and energy and is built extensively from recycled materials. “We hope customers will seek to patronize and support a venue that has made a real commitment to operate in a sustainable manner," Shapiro said, "which will make it a smart business decision."
