Kids of New York is a b-boy/b-girl battle for people under 21 (You don't have to be under 21 to attend, just to enter). If your only exposure to hip-hop is what you see on television, trust me: this will completely change your perspective on what hip-hop can be (and possibly even is).
The battle takes place on Saturday, November 15, 2008, from 11 am to 6 pm, at the O'Henry Center in Manhattan, 333 w 17th street, between 8th and 9th Avenues.
Shouts to organizer Anthony Colon, who also happens to be one of subjects of Foundation.
Oh, and here's some footage I found on Youtube from the last one:
