i, too, like the idea of rock n roll leading to an irish bar with a fantastic jukebox. i've been avoiding this thread all week because i r being busy, but i like o'connor's and i love music, so it seems like a match made in heaven. even though the new facade on o'connor's is the suck!!

the new facade on o'connor's is indeed the suck.

also, i'd like to see carey have just one drink, heh.

This seems a good a place as any to ask.

Anyone know any good karaoke places in Williamsburg or Manhattan (LES/WV/EV)? I have friends who want to go this Saturday. If any ILXors comes, they get to see me sing a duet of Journey.

EAT A MIC

there's an ok place on st. marks, and it has private rooms, but i like this one place on 34th street better (it's on the 7th floor of this building).

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 1 December 2005 16:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Yea, I am a bit leary of the place on St. Marks but it is good to know it has private rooms.

there's a sushi place on the lower east side, can't remember the name, they do 2-for-1 rolls all the time, and they have a big karaoke room in the back with flashing lights, etc that they let you book for free as long as you spend at least $200 .. i'll try to remember the name of it

Ehhhhh....

my recommendation is to find a place in koreatown and smuggle in your own booze.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 1 December 2005 16:34 (eighteen years ago) link

the place we always used is mbc (or mdc) studios. it usually ended up being about $12 per person per hour for a room.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 1 December 2005 16:35 (eighteen years ago) link

I went to a surprising place in Chinatown (WInnie's??) where the hostess would accompnay you on request, which was kind of charming, but they had a two-drink minimum and were military about enforcing it. And there weren't private rooms.

Otherwise Village Karaoke is easy, or Planet Rose on 13th and A is all right but again, yer doing your warbling in public. I'm SURE there are swank joints in K-town as Stence suggested -- and there must be two dozen places to choose from, the signs are right on the sidewalk! Some also have individual rooms set up for Pump, the Korean DDR variant, which is never NOT fun.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 1 December 2005 16:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i've had lots of fun at winnie's over the years but in addition to the kind of weak and pricey drinks, you have to pay at least a dollar per song (which you give when you hand in your request) and accusations of the hostess favoring certain customers are always rife. one of my friends, now a singer for a reasonably well-known band, was asked to leave one night after making a huge fuss when "whip it" never came up in the rota.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 1 December 2005 17:01 (eighteen years ago) link

some places may be crowded on saturday. i know there is one or 2 places in w'burg but i think they have karaoke on weeknights. village karaoke is prolly the way to go on saturday so you don't have to listen to serious karaoke'ers. there is a place called orange valve down the street from village karaoke that has karaoke in the basement/rumpus room and a 2 drink minimum. we had a fap there once and it was pretty good.

i do not like to drive and then drink and then drive. HSTENCIL.

tuesday!? i'm dumb, i meant on wednesday

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Saturday, 3 December 2005 02:53 (eighteen years ago) link

If I can make this, I will be civil. West Side Story fans look elsewhere.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 3 December 2005 19:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Morbius
I might meet a man named Morbius
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me

i'm really looking forward to wednesday! you guys better show up!

― The Great Pagoda of Funn (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 3 December 2005 19:50 (eighteen years ago) link

I will be there. I might bring friends. (To watch my back.)

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Saturday, 3 December 2005 19:51 (eighteen years ago) link

(I have two friends who live in the 'hood and both give O'Connors good marks.)

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Saturday, 3 December 2005 19:53 (eighteen years ago) link

O-Connor's is awesome. Except for the time I went with bnw and the bartender was mean to us and the people next to us at the bar were too.

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 3 December 2005 19:54 (eighteen years ago) link

morbius can beat them up.

― The Great Pagoda of Funn (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 3 December 2005 19:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, and I think lauren has been away too long -- it's a 5-10 min. walk from like every subway line ever aside from the F.

Mary if you're talking about the rockabilly guy with the horn-rimmed glasses, he got fired.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 3 December 2005 20:02 (eighteen years ago) link

a friendly bump

'Deadly Snakes'?

I nearly came to NYC this week, I would have flown out today in fact. But it was a work trip and sadly got cancelled. One day ... one day.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:01 (eighteen years ago) link

West Side Story? I was hoping for some hardboiled, Maltese Falcon, Humphrey Bogart on Elisha Cook Jr. action.

― k/l (Ken L), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:04 (eighteen years ago) link

There could be Jerome Robbins-inspired balletic moves.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 5 December 2005 14:21 (eighteen years ago) link

will try to be there.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 04:25 (eighteen years ago) link

O'Connor's is ok except for the time when i popped in there with britishes gf before a bam movie back in september and got in an argument with some dude about hurricane katrina and whatnot. anyway, i don't think i can make it tomorrow pm, unless there's a last-minute change of venue to either sylvia's in harlem, or daddy's. : (

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 04:45 (eighteen years ago) link

not that i really want to elaborate but i felt like the dude i was arguing with really needed to know that it wasn't just black people who were rescued from the 9th ward, et al.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 04:50 (eighteen years ago) link

i thought they weren't rescuing pets.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:16 (eighteen years ago) link

rescued? from bushwick?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:23 (eighteen years ago) link

polish people aren't white?

― mies van der rohffle (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:24 (eighteen years ago) link

no, they're "ethnic"
