25 W. 35th St.; 646-752-4895

For groups willing to plan a sing-along in advance—you’ll have to make a reservation two weeks before, and the owners can be hard to pin down—iBop Karaoke is worth the trek to unsexy midtown. The entrance is admittedly sketchy, and the rooms are a three-floor walk up from the street, but a Friday-night session in one of the spacious, couch-filled rooms (which hold up to 35 apiece) will set each person back only about $7 an hour, and the place is entirely BYOB. When drunken stomachs start rumbling, order a pie from neighborhood (and foodie) favorite Lazzarra’s nearby.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
