It’s that time of the year for email responses like “let’s circle back after the holidays” and of course, holiday parties.

🎄 Vernon Lanes, 1575 Story Ave. | Nothing pairs better with bowling shoes than an ugly Christmas sweater — this vintage Butchertown bowling alley offers a full catering menu with options like nachos, wontons + fried chicken nuggies.
