Hell’s Kitchen NYC

Hell’s Kitchen NYC (also called Clinton or Midtown West) is an old residential neighborhood along Manhattan’s west side from 34th St to 59th St. Many young actors live here. It used to be a center of Irish power in New York City.

Restaurant Row on 46th St is popular for pre-theatre dining because it is next to the Times Square Theater District.

It is the home of the Manhattan Cruise Terminal and art fairs on the west side piers from Pier 76 to Pier 99.

Hudson Yards is a new mixed-use development spread over southern Hell’s Kitchen and northern Chelsea.

Orchestra of St. Luke’s chamber orchestra is based at DiMenna Center for Classical Music.
