STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Congrats are in order for Rab’s Country Lanes, Dongan Hills.
The .NYC registry team, which is managed by Neustar, held its Best of Boroughs 2020 Virtual Awards Celebration to honor five organizations that use .NYC domain name in each borough of New York City. Among the five winners representing each borough, Rab’s Country Lanes was named Best of Staten Island.

For Frank Wilkinson, proprietor of Rab’s Country Lanes in Staten Island, bowling isn’t just a business, but something that runs in his blood. The all-American pastime has been part of his family for more than 60 years. According to SILive, “Frank’s father, Rab, was a professional bowler and regarded as one of Staten Island’s all-time best.”
Say Wilkinson, “Our family roots run deep in bowling and small business here in Staten Island.” His customers include bowling leagues, local fundraisers and patrons from across the borough of Staten Island.
So when the pandemic hit in March, the mandated closures weighed heavily on not just his conscience but community as well.
“Rab’s provides an outlet for our community to get away from everyday life for social recreation,” says Wilkinson, “and being closed was not just a burden on the business, it was a burden on our community and those who depend on us for work and their outlet.”
