This story is part of an occasional series exploring nightlife in New York.
After a co-worker brought up karaoke in conversation last week, Molly Archuleta knew exactly where she wanted to spend her Friday night.
Ms. Archuleta, who lives in Bushwick, hopped on the subway to head to Planet Rose, a karaoke lounge in Alphabet City that she discovered 12 years ago.
“The best thing about it is it’s an open karaoke experience, so you don’t know what’s going to come through the door,” she said. “You have accountants coming to sing Metallica; you have out-of-towners that want to sing Celine Dion, which we will always support.”
