OPENING TODAY 🇵🇭 STORY BEHIND THE CHOKING SIGN: NEW YORK BASKETBALL, FILIPINO CULTURE, AND HOY! WITH KRISTOFFERSON SAN PABLO 🏀

At Hoy! (@hoy.nyc), a new casual Filipino joint on the Lower East Side, the choking sign features the Knicks’ (@nyknicks) Jalen Brunson (@jalenbrunson1) helping Wemby (@wemby) cough up a lumpia, or Filipino egg roll. During this summer’s fated game, the Spurs (@spurs) choked on the lead… and so on the poster, Wemby chokes on something from Hoy!’s menu. Los Angeles-based artist and creative director Kristofferson San Pablo (@hikristofferson) came up with it while himself in New York for the finals, when he was also helping his cousin, owner-chef Cyed Adraincem (@chino.picco), bring the longtime idea of Hoy! to life. The two grew up in California’s Inland Empire and talked about opening a restaurant for years. When Cyed finally called with the keys to a corner space in the Lower East Side, Kristofferson took on everything creative, from logos and merch to the hand-painted interior and plans for music. The concept draws on Filipino night markets, with Kristofferson bringing his years in fine art, streetwear, and DJing into the mix. Our conversation follows those connections through the restaurant: how their choking sign doubles as a basketball comic, how their Filipino DJ friends will contribute to a planned mixtape series and live sets at Hoy!, and how their restaurant concept reflects and brings awareness to the Filipino-American cultural identity. We also talk about Kristofferson’s recent first museum exhibition at UC Riverside, his journey with his commercial and fine art practices, and his insistence that his cousin Cyed get in front of the camera, so people can see the Filipino team behind Hoy!’s food.

Today is Hoy!’s soft opening :) from 7am-1pm Weds-Fri, try pastries from Filipino-American LIC pop-up Arellano Pandesal (@arellanopandesal) and specialty Filipino coffee and drinks from Hoy! You can stream this episode at the link in my bio or anywhere you get your podcasts 😌 follow for more urban cultural stories!

💔 OUR STUDIO IS GONE 😢 We were wrongfully evicted from our studio on Monday (8/24) at 9pm with only a 3 hour notice to vacate. The landlord apparently owed tons of money to the building owner & we paid our rent on time for almost 10 yrs. He knew about this for 6 months & didn’t bother to tell us until 3 hours before the eviction date. There are over 20+ artists in the same building who also got screwed & now we don’t have a studio to work in. For those who don’t know, the studio is where we get our work done, build relationships w/ our community & make sales. It’s our sanctuary, our livelihood & In a blink of an eye, it’s gone.

I truly don’t know what to do atm as I am too exhausted to look for a studio that will fit our needs & stay within our budget. I spent all week moving out & I can’t even fathom attempting to move all of that stuff again as I am drained. Moving is the most stressful thing for me & having to move with no notice probably took a few years off my life this past week. And as some of you know, this process of getting new space, moving & settling in before we can actually get back to work can take months. So if anyone has any leads, plz DM @vacancyprojects 🙏🏽

But also, I want to do a studio sale of paintings & drawings if anyone wants to buy some art to help w/ all this. I’m an adjunct college professor part time which is why I have a studio practice, work in design & run @vacancyprojects , but for those in the know, the current market is pretty bad for creatives. So if anyone has leads on work plz lmk. Or if you wanna buy art, DM me for available works if interested or click the link in bio to buy some @vacancyprojects goods? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ok I’m gonna try to rest & maybe get a haircut or coffee to have some sense of normalcy. Thank you to my friends & family who came through with no hesitation to help, checked in & offer words of encouragement. All of you are the silver lining behind this mess & I love you all.

Talk soon ✌🏽 taken in Los Angeles, California by @vacancyprojects
