Did anyone say...Karaoke?!?

Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston may be gone, but they won’t be forgotten—not as long as we have hordes of New Yorkers all simultaneously screaming off-key renditions of “Billie Jean” and "I Will Always Love You". 

Finding a Karaoke Bar in NYC is not a challenge. For some reason, New Yorkers love singing at the top of their lungs while embarrassing themselves in front of everybody(me included).  With that said, my two favorite Karaoke Bars in NY are: Sing Sing and U2. 

U2 Karaoke: It is located at 6 Saint Marks Place. The decor is a very futuristic one, where it feels like you just stepped onto a Star Trek set. However, it offers a wide variety of songs, private rooms, full bar and food at a very decent price ($8.00 per head/hour). 

Sing Sing Karaoke: It has two locations on the Lower East Side (81 Avenue A and 9 St. Marks). Both are very New York bars, with the Japanese twist. Sing Sing offers private rooms, props, food menu, full bar and of course a HUGE directory of songs. Price is $8.00 per head/hour. However, you should definitely check out happy hour if you have a chance. Happy hour is $4.00 per head/hour Mon-Sun 1pm-7pm. If you decide to come here just make sure you make a reservation. 

Also, for other good Karaoke bars... I would go to K-Town. SO MANY to chose from, and guaranteed a good time(fyi- most of them are not street level). Trust me, Asians know how to Karaoke.

My suggestion while at Karaoke: Get yourself a private room with 6-10 of your closest friends, order a pitcher of sake bombs and eat some chicken wings (gross, i know- but perfect combo if you plan to embarrass yourself all night singing to "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey). 

So, having a hard time deciding what to do on a Friday or Saturday night in NYC? Head over to one of the many Karaoke bars in New York City, and sing your little heart out. And with that I leave you with one of my all time favorite Karaoke songs....



Have a great weekend fellow readers!!! Rock out...
