Bye, Bye Hiro Ballroom!
Categories: Nightlife
The last show at the Hiro Ballroom will be on March 31.
My personal fave Bebe Buell will be one of the performers, and it will be a fitting tribute to late club owner and mentor Don Hill.
I had so many amazing nights at that place -- at 88 Ninth Avenue, near 17th Street, at the Maritime Hotel -- whether we're talking concerts, Nights of 1,000 Jackies, Sunday gay nights, or Paper magazine events (including performances by Beth Ditto and tons of others).
And now it's turning into a giant Tao!
Hiro and the adjacent Matsuri restaurant (which was faboo) are both being leveled by new owners and going the Tao route.
Things change.
Memories remain.
