Arlene's Grocery
Now, if you're on the Lower East Side on a Monday, navigating your way to this spot when it's time to ugly cry is a valuable attention-diversion tactic. Arlene's Grocery is a rowdy spot with karaoke Mondays replete with people not taking life to seriously (read: drunkenly singing) in front of large crowds of people. Sneak into a corner and weep, because there will be too many entertaining things happening elsewhere for other bar-goers to pay attention to you. Hell, someone's soulful rendition of "Halo" might even cheer you up.
