by Jason B. on we went during lunch fyi. one of the best asian meals ive had. my friend paid a ton for our lunch since we sampled so much but i remember the pad thai, the yellow curry, and the short ribs standing out. i love the decor inside. no clue how different dinner may be.
by Dana F. on I was a regular on Thursday nights when the Cheeky Bastard/GBH parties were hosted here. People said that this was an Asian party place, but from what I could tell, it was always Brooklynites in American Apparel and plaid shirts. There was no cover and the one-hour Lucky beer open bar was a blessing in the Meatpacking District (the beer, not so great, but whatever, it's free). Unlike other hipster hotel parties I've been to, everyone actually danced at Hiro, which was awesome. Drinks are expensive, but there were enough promoters milling about that getting a table/bottle was never an issue. I love the ambiance of the place - even when heading out for Chromeo or LA Riots DJ sets, the samurai theme works. I will never forget that I saw Justice live for the first time at Hiro in spring 2006 - THAT was a party to remember. I'm pretty sure they still have Skool on Saturday night, which attracts a predominantly Asian crowd (nothing wrong with that though!). Maybe one day they'll bring all of the parties back?
by Hipolito Circelli on Silk pastel shirt - check. Black pants - check. Grease in hair - check. Pretending I'm awesome - check. Someone please cue the music.... "What is love? Baby don't hurt me....don't hurt me...no more...." So you now arrive at the club. Wait. Drop someone's name. Say your own name. (Who the fuck cares guys?!?! It isn't like there is a billionaires convention in there...I mean, MAYBE there is one, but seriously....half the guys in there are poseurs, other 49 percent half suck...its the 1% that is cool). So you get in. Like, hottie overload. Slow down Butabi... Listen, so I used to go here within the first year it opened. It got progressively weirder and by weirder I mean more B,T, and a-holeish. I am aware there is a party here now on Wednesday that caters to a cooler crowd...but its a frickin' Wednesday. Try to avoid the NYUers and go for the New Schoolers, especially the ones with the fakes. Awesome. Now when I was 17 I was told that every man should go to a strip club once in his life. I think every man/woman should go to a nightclub once in their life. If you could only go to one, I wouldn't blow your load here...check out Bungalow 8 so at least you can tell the souls that you are in heaven with that you went.
