Call it ka-Ridge-oke!
There is nothing better than butchering your favorite songs in front of perfect strangers, and there is no better place to do it than Bay Ridge, so stock up on honey and lemon tea — you’re going to need it.
Get in the swing of things on Wednesday evenings at Greenhouse Cafe (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets), where you can belt down some Penne a la Vodka and belt out Ol’ Blue Eyes or chow on a cheeseburger and channel the Boss. DJ Dave spins sing-along selections all night starting at 8 pm.
On Thursdays, wow the crowds with your best Eddie Vedder impression during ’90s Karaoke Night at No Quarter Tavern (8015 Fifth Ave. between 80th and 81st streets). The grunge growling starts at 9:30 pm — and we hope it never ends.
On Friday nights, there is only one place to go to make a fool of yourself with a mic in hand, and that is Three Jolly Pigeons (6802 Third Ave. at 68th Street). Bring your favorite lovebird and sing a duet, or fly solo and try to pick up a nest-mate — either way Jukebox Johnny will lead the flock, and the chirping starts at 10 pm.
Saturday night, everybody will be howling at the Full Moon Saloon (8309 Fifth Ave. between 83rd and 84th streets) at Karaoke with Little Neil. The DJ may be diminutive, but his catalogue is as big as anyone’s, so come ready to sing. The crooning gets underway at 10 pm.
And if you haven’t pushed your pipes to the breaking point by Sunday, take your karaoke tour of the Ridge on the road with a trip to Coney Island’s Karaoke on the Boardwalk (W. 12th Street Gazebo in front of Deno’s Wonder Wheel) for some seaside singing. Blow them down with a salty sea chantey or bring some friends and bust out a note-for-note rendition of the barbershop classic “Goodbye My Coney Island Baby.”
