Cheap and Fun Nightlife for the Mildly Disturbed

Up for something a little different? Check out the events calendar for The Slipper Room on the lower east side (187 Orchard St.) and head over for a night of quirky fun. Most of the time there's only a $5 cover. You can get to see Doctor Donut (pictured), Scotty the Blue Bunny, a wacky burlesque show, or their latest production, Shit and Champagne, self-described as "a whitesploitation comedy with dance." Okay, then...

Also, on Mondays you can let your heavy metal hair down at Arlene's Grocery (7th Ave and Stanton St.) and belt out your favorite Whitesnake power ballad at their punk/metal karaoke night. There's NO COVER CHARGE or a song fee to hold you back. So go on, you know you want to -- we won't tell anyone that you still know the lyrics by heart!
