Socially Awkward but I'm Trying

Happy Holidays!!! We will celebrate the Christmas season by singing our favorite Holiday tunes, both classic and modern, in an open karaoke bar. If you love to show off your singing skills or simply enjoy mingling, this is the event for you.

We will start off the afternoon with singing and fun at Planet Rose in Alphabet City. At Planet Rose it's $2 a song or free with a drink purchase. Happy hour is from 4 to 8 and they have reasonably priced drinks. Keep in mind this is a bar so no outside drinks please. Outside food however, is allowed. Please come as close to 4 pm as possible in order to maximize your singing time.

At 8 PM, the lot of us will make our way to IHOP just a few blocks away for dinner. It has become somewhat of a tradition.

While this is a special Christmas event, you can sing whatever you want. So don't feel restricted. Please sign up and invite people.

Hey ho ho ho !!! Let's go go go ..........................................to see the Dyker Heights lights!!! For those who dont know, every year the Dyker Heights residents put on a dazzling display of Christmas lights by decorating their homes for mere peasants, peons, plebians, etc. such as ourselves to marvel at! We arent paying the electric bill so for us its FREE!! So get your Santa hats and Jingle bells and get ready!!

WARNING - Its pretty crowded and there's a lot of walking and for some stretches its uphill, so if thats not your VIBE as the kids say ,and youre a mean green Grinch, this meetup is probably not a good idea ,and you may be better off watching Hermey the Elf try to become a dentist on the Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer special! What a classic!

Anyway, ill be the host and we'll be walking up and down the avenues from about 13th to 10th avenue from 85th to 82nd street! Thats where the best lights are!

We will meet right in front of the Dyker library !!!

THERE WILL BE NO EATING AFTER THE EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Id prefer to just answer calls or texts to checking the info here so heres my info!

• How to Get There:
• By LIRR (Recommended): We will meet at Penn Station and will be taking the 11:35 AM Port Jefferson branch train to Hicksville station. I will be waiting from 10:45 AM by the waiting area for tracks 13-21. From Hicksville station, it's a quick 0.5-mile walk (8–10 minutes) north on Lake Avenue to the entrance.
• By Car: Drive east on the Long Island Expressway (I-495) to Exit 49N (Pinelawn Road), then follow signs to the venue—parking is free and plentiful.
• Rideshare/Taxi: Uber/Lyft from Penn Station (~$80–100 one-way) or St. James Station (~$10–15).
• Estimated LIRR Cost from Penn Station: $20 round-trip (off-peak one-way: $10; peak surcharges may apply if traveling during rush hours—buy via MTA app or ticket machines).
• Total Combined Cost (per person): ~$50 (LIRR round-trip $20 + Christmas House ticket ~$30; excludes optional snacks/gifts—affordable magic at its finest!).
