ITALIA STAFF PICKS		KARAOKE IN NYC by Pamela Lewy When one of our managers, Dave Massoni, decided to take hiatus from restaurant work and head out to Italia to work on a vineyard for the next 6 months, he knew his farewell party would have to be a big one! When considering where to celebrate, there was no question, it had to be in a karaoke bar. Always fun, always humorous, karaoke guarantees a good time and many laughs. The party was a rousing success so we decided to share some of our favorite karaoke bars here in NYC...
