The Karaoke Machine Will Go Silent at Winnie's in Chinatown Next Month

Legendary karaoke spot Winnie's Bar and Grill in Chinatown is set to shutter after 28 years at the end of March, reports Jeremiah Moss. According to a tipster of Moss's: "the landlord is renting the space to someone else (they have gone for 3 years without a lease)." The dive was popular among Chinese gangsters back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, but more recently has been a hipster favorite with its potent Hawaiian Punch — a mix of rum, vodka, amaretto, creme de bananes, and grenadine. No word on who the new tenant will be.
