Hipsters and Prepsters, Unite! Dorrian's Summer Karaoke's Last Night

By Paul Johnson-Calderon

dorrian's

Whether you're there to reunite with your long-lost boarding school and college classmates or you're there for the cheap drinks, good times and great tunes, Dorrian's summer karaoke has been the place to see and be seen all summer long. Sadly, tomorrow night, August 19th, is the last night they will be having their now famous sing-a-long. Known for a long time as the stomping grounds of the preppy, well-heeled, New York/Connecticut set, Dorrian's has gotten some overdue attention from downtown's hipster scene. In fact, just last week, I spotted the practically dred-locked downtown rocker/it-boy E.B. Sollis among the sea of searsucker and pastel. That same night, I mistook gorgeous photog/girl-about-town Lizzy Fraser for the ghost of Edie Sedgwick. Other regulars and such include Cabell Brown, Ivanka Trump, Winston Lapham, Serena Tufo, Julia Hoyt, Hunter Ryan, and Peter Smith.

So, should you find yourself in the shower tomorrow night, using your shampoo as a microphone and singing along to Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," why not throw some clothes on and join the cool kids at Dorrian's (on Second Ave. and E. 84th St.).

Come one, Come all!!

For the record, it is NOT the lsat night of Karaoke at Dorrian's. Karaoke will continue every Tuesday night into September (although that doesn't mean upir presence isn't necessary tonight!)....
