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.

We’ve each related entirely too well with R&B crooner Avant’s breakout breakup hit, “Separated” -- haven’t we? It’s one of those songs that makes you shake your head slowly in commiseration, much like the rest of the singer’s soulful sounds. He’s bringing his heart-rendingly vulnerable vocals to B.B. King’s on Friday night, fresh off this week’s release of his new album, The Letter. Want to get together to share his pain? Email me at [email protected] with your favorite Avant song in the subject for your shot at one of five pairs of tickets!

I recently Christmas-gifted myself with what I now consider one of my prized possessions -- a Wu Tang Clan C.R.E.A.M. hoodie. It seems to have since sold out all over, but if you’re feenin’ for some similar fly gear, you’re in luck -- Rocksmith, the clothing company that made my current wardrobe staple, is running a sample sale pop-up shop on the Lower East Side featuring their Wu wares.

Now that global warming seems to have subsided and December is howling full-force with flurries and frost, we could all use a reason to warm up. For comforting food and mellow atmosphere, hit up any of Spice’s ever-expanding spots scattered throughout the city. The Thai eatery is known for its on-point, peanut-y Pad Thai, as well as hearty soups that pack exotic, coconut-kissed flavors. The best part? Portions are ample and prices are more than affordable -- so your visit won’t leave your wallet out in the cold.

Back in my playground days, I was always fascinated by the section of the schoolyard occupied by the kids jumping rope -- so I can imagine that the participants in Sunday’s National Double Dutch League Holiday Classic will be demonstrating how it’s really done. See more...

It’s no secret that sneakers are integral to the hip-hop lifestyle, the foremost of the big three mainstays of rapper bravado: kicks, cribs, and chicks. So Saturday’s spectacular meeting of music and footwear, on the last stop of the Sneaker Pimps USA 2010 Tour, is sure to be hot. Featuring sneaker sales and trades, demos of the freshest designs, street art exhibitions as well as a concert headlined by Rick Ro$$ (among many others), this event will be a dizzying dream come true for every serious hip-hop head.

For the past four decades, George Clinton’s name has gone hand-in-trippy-hand with some of the most innovative sounds on any music scene, appealing to a range of audiences as wide as the genres he’s so successfully bended.

King’s on Friday -- and I have one pair of tickets on-hand for you to witness the true Atomic Dog. Hit me up at [email protected] with “George Clinton giveaway” in the subject to be entered to win!

The holidays are heading our way fast, which means we’re all narrowing down our lists in the midst of catching a violent case of shopping fever. No doubt we could all stand to save some pennies in the process -- and if you’d like to bulk up on fuel before window browsing, make the trip uptown to Koronet Pizza. Catering to the tighter purse strings of nearby Columbia University students, the modest eat-on-the-go spot boasts some of the best -- and biggest -- pizza in the city.
