MTV’s new docu-series Washington Heights finally has a premiere date. You can watch nine best friends from the neighborhood pursue their dreams over 11 hour-long episodes starting January 9 at 10PM. “In the trailer below, you’ll meet a group of born-and-bred New Yorkers trying to make it while still honoring their parents’ struggle and cultural origins,” MTV writes. Is it the perfect storm of Jersey Shore and The Real World? [via THR]
