The Rickshaw Restaurant & Lounge serves greasy Chinese food and American fare, but nobody ever goes there to eat. The establishment is much better known for satisfying folks whove got an insatiable appetite for karaoke. Its packed with singers until closing every night of the weeksingers being a generous label for drunken off-key Phil Collins crooners and Beach Boys wailers. The Greenwood joint is endearingly tacky and schizo, decorated with both Asian-style paper lanterns and silver disco balls. And all walks of life step up to its worn mic to sing. (This reporters choice cut: Ace of Bases I Saw the Sign.) If you require several glasses of liquid courage before you can even think about selecting something from the song catalogue, dont fret. The Rickshaws got your kind covered, too. Happy hour starts at 10 a.m. (21 and over.) ERIKA HOBART
