Hidden Gem in K-Town | NYC 🍎
Koreatown is located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. It is about a 15 minute walk from Time Square and 5 minutes from 34th Street ! There are so many things to do there. But this is my favorite⬇️
It is one of the most affordable karaoke spots in the area. It is only $36 per hour for a group of up to 4 people Or $9 per person per hour for groups of five or more. Lots of the other places are requiring bottle service which is CRAZY ( to me of course 😂)
The rooms are private and you can pick depending on the size of your group. If the group is large I highlyyyyy recommend making a reservation a week or two in advance. If you have 8 or less you have a higher chance of being booked same day . But if you can , def make the reservation.
It is bring your own bottle and bring your own food ! They do sell wine and soju on site but there are so many amazing restaurants near by you should definitely grab some grub !
💭 Do you like karaoke ??
Hey everyone! If you're anything like me, a night out isn't complete without some epic karaoke. And let me tell you, when it comes to belting out tunes in NYC, Koreatown is the place to be. While there are a bunch of spots, I've found a real winner that I just have to share, especially if you're looking for value and a super fun experience. My absolute go-to is 32 Karaoke. Located right in the heart of K-Town, it's so convenient – just a short walk from Times Square or 34th Street. What sets it apart immediately is the pricing. Seriously, in a city where everything feels overpriced, finding a private karaoke room for just $36 an hour for up to four people is a game-changer. If you're with a bigger crew, it's an even better deal at $9 per person per hour for five or more. No crazy bottle service requirements here, which is a huge relief! The rooms at 32 Karaoke are fantastic – always private, clean, and you can pick one that perfectly fits your group size. I've always been impressed by their 'Large Song Selection' – whether you're into classic rock, current pop hits, or K-Pop anthems, they've got you covered. The sound quality is great too, making you feel like a star, even if you're just singing for your friends. Another massive plus? It's 'BYOB / BYOF' (Bring Your Own Bottle / Bring Your Own Food)! This is where you can really save some money and customize your night. To make the most of the BYOB/BYOF policy, my pro tip is to grab some delicious Korean fried chicken or kimbap from one of the many fantastic restaurants right outside before heading in. There are also grocery stores nearby if you want to stock up on your favorite beverages. Just remember, while they do sell wine and soju on-site, bringing your own just adds to the fun and affordability. Speaking of planning, if you're rolling with a large group (say, more than 8 people), securing a reservation a week or two in advance is a must. For smaller groups, you might get lucky with a same-day booking, but honestly, why risk it? A quick call ahead makes sure your vocal cords are warmed up and ready to go! While 32 Karaoke is my absolute favorite 'hidden gem', K-Town itself is bursting with energy. If you're exploring other options or just want to see what else is out there, places like K One Karaoke are also popular, though they might have different pricing structures or policies like minimum spends. But beyond the karaoke, Koreatown offers so much more. Before or after your singing session, I always love to explore the endless array of Korean BBQ joints, trendy cafes for a sweet treat, or even browse the unique shops. It truly makes for a complete night out. So next time you're in Midtown Manhattan looking for an unforgettable experience, definitely check out Koreatown and make 32 Karaoke your first stop. You won't regret it!
