This kitschy neighborhood bar has gotten its fair share of press lately, thanks local reality show celeb Ed Swiderski (chosen by leading lady Jillian Harris on ABC's "The Bachelorette") regularly naming it as his favorite hangout. Known for its popular karaoke nights (Tuesday through Saturday), Blue Frog also serves up plenty of burgers, free bingo on Mondays and specialty cocktails such as the Blue Frog and the Pink Pig, both fruity spins on Long Island iced tea. A few house wines and two dozen or so bottled beers are also available. If getting behind the microphone isn't your thing, get competitive with classic kiddie board games such as KerPlunk, Operation and Chutes and Ladders.
