In the basement of The Dragonfly
Don’t let this karaoke-scene staple’s unassuming exterior fool you. You enter the Greenwich Village den by descending a flight of stairs in a restaurant. Once inside, order a drink (booze is two-for-one all night on Mondays) and receive a ticket for a free song; picks are only a buck after that. There’s no real stage—patrons simply go to the front of the spacious room and rock out. Choose from the massive songbook, featuring a diverse array of genres including show tunes, Top 40 hits and new-wave classics. (You can’t go wrong with pop: Recently, Cee Lo Green’s anthem “Fuck You!” sparked a sing-along among a dozen or so patrons.) Those with stage fright can retreat with two or three friends into a private room in the back ($7 per person per hour).
