For one of my friends birthday weekends we recently ended our night by celebrating at Baby Grand karaoke — when we went it wasn’t crowded at all and for only $2 per song we had a blast singing our hearts out. This definitely felt like the cheapest / most affordable karaoke in Manhattan— You do sing in front of everyone else in the audience but the vibe of the bar is super intimate and friendly, people were singing along when I went up to sing Pink Pony Club, and everyone was super encouraging so don’t worry about stage fright. We were even able to cut a cake for my friend together with everyone else happily signing along— the vibes were immaculate and the price couldn’t be beat. The selection of songs was super current too! This is a place I’ll be going back to for sure!
