Like a Mama Bear, Hype NY Goes Into Hibernation

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/15/10 | Filed under Concerts, Culture, Nightlife

Unless you're walking around with a space heater in your pants - which, by the way, we do not recommend - you've noticed that the days have gotten much colder, darker and short. Not exactly the kind of thing that makes you want to hit the streets in search of the best the city has to offer.

That's why Hype NY will be taking a cue from mother nature and going into hibernation for the winter. So while you're warm inside your apartment watching the snow fall, we'll be locked in our offices, working to bring back Hype NY even bigger and stronger in the spring.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the our launch such an overwhelming success. Happy holidays, happy New Year and we'll see you soon.

Peruse Peru @ Pio Pio

If finger-licking tender rotisserie chicken and carafes swishing with sangria in a lively environment are your idea of a good time, make your way to Pio Pio. One of New York’s best not-so-well-kept secrets, the Peruvian restaurant has blossomed into a mini-chain with spots all over the city. Aside from the juicy chicken served whole and simmering in spices, you can sample other South American specialties -- including jalea (sizzling fried seafood) and assorted tamales.
