The Hills may be about to spawn - on the East Coast!

According to the New York Post, an upcoming pilot of a rumored spinoff called The City were shot at the Meatpacking District eatery Nero.

"The central character will be artist Jay Lyon, who has been featured in an episode of The Hills with Whitney Port," a source said.

"When they worked together, they hit it off and started dating."

During the shoot, MTV cameras captured the cross-country lovebirds having an intimate dinner and sharing an earnest conversation.

Here's hoping this is true - for fans of The Hills, as well as for Whitney Port, who we've always loved and wished to learn more about!
