just got back from rock and roll karaoke at arlene’s.
it’s been a while since i’ve been there, but it’s as wonderful as ever.
if i were to write a nyc ‘must do’ guidebook i would definitely include rock and roll karaoke at arlene’s.

14-going to the rainbow room
15-walking around 5th avenue and madison avenue in the 50’s
