WEST HAVERSTRAW, NY — Breakpoint Bowl & Entertainment, a beloved local hub for family fun, celebrated its grand reopening with an exciting ribbon-cutting ceremony this weekend. The event, held in partnership with the Village of West Haverstraw and the North Rockland Chamber of Commerce, marked a new chapter for the entertainment venue, which had previously been known as Hi Tor Bowling.
A crowd gathered in the large parking lot of Breakpoint for the outdoor festivities, where the Village of West Haverstraw donated their stage for the occasion. The highlight of the event was the ribbon-cutting ceremony, presided over by West Haverstraw Mayor Robert D’Amelio, who warmly congratulated the Ardiri and Varano families, partners of Breakpoint, on their successful reopening. Mayor D’Amelio praised Joe Ardiri and Rob Varano for their commitment to reviving a cherished entertainment spot for the local community.
“Breakpoint Bowl & Entertainment is more than just a bowling alley—it’s a place where families and friends can come together to create memories. We are proud to have such a fantastic venue here in West Haverstraw, and we wish the Ardiri Family great success in this new chapter,” Mayor D’Amelio said.
Chamber Secretary Tom Ossa also spoke at the event, emphasizing the importance of Breakpoint to the local entertainment scene. “For years, Hi Tor Bowling—now Breakpoint—was one of only two large places where families could go for entertainment on weekends. The other was the Ice Skating rink. We’re thrilled to see Breakpoint revitalized, offering so much more for families to enjoy,” Ossa stated.
The newly renovated facility is sure to be a hit with visitors of all ages, featuring two dozen bowling lanes, massive HDTVs for sports enthusiasts, a modern restaurant, and an arcade packed with fun for kids, including an exciting laser tag arena. The renovation adds to the venue’s reputation as a go-to destination for locals looking to unwind, play, and dine.
As the event concluded with the official ribbon cutting, attendees cheered in anticipation of what Breakpoint Bowl & Entertainment has to offer. The grand reopening symbolizes a revitalization of a cherished community landmark, promising fun-filled weekends for families across Rockland County.
