Bronx’s Domino Party Slaps in Morrisania

Morrisania’s Alianza Dominicana Cultural Center clicked last night with the Bronx’s Domino Party, hyping NYC’s spring. Host Mia Chen dealt tiles as 150 played, prepping the Domino Effect premiere. It’s borough bones—free entry, DJs spun, pure BX vibe. A kid slammed a double-six; a pro trash-talked. ‘Bronx throws down—this is it,’ Chen says, shuffling sets. The hall turned game night.

The bash’s a teaser—tied to April’s A.R.T. debut, it packed the place by 7 p.m. Chen’s a local planner; last night’s crowd hit max—tiles clacked. A latecomer nabbed a chair; food trays emptied—NYC grit glowed. Cast dropped in—hype doubled. #BronxDomino trended; Queens wants a hand.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a neighbor, earplugs out. Spills slicked—mopped quick; game rolled. A rival’s pitching a Soundview slap, splitting tables. Still, 200 stayed—dominos ruled. Morrisania’s never clicked so hard.

Chen’s eyeing a tourney, maybe a street set if spring bites. ‘NYC’s hustle—this plays it,’ she says, stacking tiles. The party’s a Bronx win—grit meets slam. Domino Effect’s near; deal in. Bring luck—bones fly.
