I'll be traveling soon to New Rochelle, NY. Any recommendations for a hall to try? I am not looking for action, just a friendly place to hit a few balls.

Thanks.

Theres two coin op tables in New Rochelle. Better chance finding players in the bars that support leagues in Yonkers and Westchester.
 
Hard Luck Pool Hall in White Plains, NY is the best place in the area. Cafe Billiards in Yonkers, NY is a complete dump, but their rates are great. If you can make it to Nanuet, Diamond Jim's is there and is as clean a hall there is.
 
Head to Hard Luck in White Plains - lower Westchester can be a rough place if you don't know where you are going in Yonkers, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle,etc --- Stick with Hard Luck and you should have no problems. I'm from the area originally and one of my sons and one of my brothers play at Hard Luck at times and it is the best place around now in lower Westchester.
 
Thanks for the recommendation.

I hit this place yesterday. Couldn’t make three in a row to save my dog’s life.

Went back today, started out iffy, settled down. Got to making shots but my break ball shots need work. Either miss and break ‘em out for my imaginary opponent, or make the break ball and bury the cue in the rack or up against another ball. Gotta figure out how to put more stuff on the CB without missing. But at least I sorta found my shotmaking. Wasn’t great but didn’t suck.

I play a 95 this week (I’m down to 60.) I suspect I’ll be doing a lot of racking and watching my opponent shoot the balls I should be shooting at. 😁😆

Hard Luck hall is pretty good. 9-ft’ers in good condition, reject corner shots it should, don’t allow sloppy entrances to the corners.

Interesting listening to 9-ball weight negotiations on the adjacent table. Let’s just say the guy being challenged seemed in over his head, at least that’s how it looked while I was there. Maybe the guy was playing the playa. I didn’t stay long enough to see.
