NYC’s Hiro Ballroom to close its doors

New York’s famous Hiro Ballroom, popular for its wide array of club parties and live concerts, will be shutting its doors for good in March of 2012. The venue has been open for eight years as part of the Maritime Hotel, at 88 9th Ave in Manhattan.

No word yet on what will be opening in its place, but according to Societe Perrier, which broke the story, Mark Packer (Lavo, Tao) will be taking over the much-loved space.
