Arlene's World Famous Live Rock ’n’ Roll Karaoke

The Strokes played some of their first gigs at LES mainstay Arlene’s Grocery, so you can take comfort in the fact that you’re rocking out where Jules & Co. had some of their earliest drunken shows. Just make sure you bring it—cuts by Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC and other tried-and-true rock staples (the more anthemic, the better) require some serious wailing. The free Monday-night shows have the wildest crowds, and in true rock-star fashion, ridiculous antics like stripping and playing air guitar are encouraged.
