Belly Dancers Spotlight the Best Businesses Across the U.S.

Beaumont, TX, July 29, 2011 --(PR.com)-- HipMix.net, the fastest growing belly dance website and lifestyle magazine, launched a search today to find the best Middle Eastern restaurants, nightclubs, and lounges across the United States. The search, called the Certified Hip Awards, will be conducted through online nominations and voting.

What Are The Certified Hip Awards?

The 2011 Certified Hip Awards are a part of HipMix.net’s Readers' Choice Award Program. This first round of awards will showcase the best Middle Eastern themed restaurants and nightclubs across the United States.

The program grew out of the increasing number of requests that HipMix.net has received from their globe-trotting readers. Website founder and well-known belly dancer Dilara Sultan has traveled extensively herself, and she is constantly asked by others where to go and what to do in different locations around the world.

“When I travel I, like most others, like to plan many details in advance. Finding the best dining and entertainment options for those interested in Middle Eastern food and dance is Not so easy,” Dilara explains. “HipMix.net has become known as a go-to source for finding belly dancers, advice and travel news. And with over 30,000 people subscribing to our news and information, it makes sense to launch this new Reader’s Choice Program.”

In conclusion, Dilara hopes to show these restaurants that their efforts to show the true Middle Eastern culture have not gone unnoticed by those who care most: the customers.

“Through my travels, I’ve realized there are some great Middle Eastern nightclubs and restaurants out there. Many are not well known and certainly deserve the spotlight,” said Dilara. “That’s what the HipMix.net Certified Hip Awards will do.”
