PALM TREE LA KARAOKE



I have never been to a Karaoke Bar.
I don't sing well and I don't drink Johnny Walker Blue so I have always dodged the invites to go sing. However, the other night, my friend Shane was going to a wrap party on one of her productions and she didn't want to go alone, so I went with her. Three words. LAUGH OUT LOUD. I had so much fun and laughed so hard, I had to blog about this place. Its really fun cheesy fun.

I went to Korea last year with my sister and it reminds me of Seoul. Its basically like you are walking into Korea for the night. Its a bunch of hot intoxicated 20 year old korean girls fresh off the boat (I can say that cause I am Korean) with their heavy makeup and faux Chanel jewelry and purses...with Korean guys, also intoxicated, who are spending loads of money on their parents credit cards, and driving their parent bought BMW's. It was really fun to see all the cute korean people their korean drama hair/makeup. Shane casts for a living so it is definitely the perfect place to go if you are casting asians for a film.

Palm Tree LA has a restaurant area, lounge, and numberous norebangs (videoke singing rooms). The property looks like a tricked out Korean club, with cheesy Miami club type lighting and velvet booths. There is illegal smoking that is allowed, but just don't ask if you can smoke. There are private rooms for small parties named after fashion labels (gucci, prada, chanel). There is also a massive singing room for huge parties (30+) called Hennessey 24 which was the room were were in. We had so much fun. There were some great singers in the bunch.

The Valet parking is great and available to you off of New Hampshire, but you can also try the parking garage across the street.
