About Hell’s Kitchen 

Hell’s Kitchen is located on Manhattan’s Westside, extending from the Hudson River east to 8th Avenue. It is bordered by the neighborhoods of Lincoln Square to the North and Chelsea to the South. For over a hundred years, this neighborhood was a hotbed of Irish mob activity. In fact, the famous musical West Side Story is based on happenings in this neighborhood. 

Over the last 40 years, Hell’s Kitchen has been cleaned up and gentrified. Now it is a foodie haven, host to many Off-Broadway theatre productions, and known for its lively LGBTQ+ friendly nightlife. The neighborhood also houses many television studios and performance venues, including the studio that tapes The Daily Show.

If you’re a foodie, you can’t miss the chance to eat your way through Hell’s Kitchen. You’ll find eateries specializing in cuisines from around the world, from Caribbean and French to Ethiopian, Mexican, and everywhere in between. You’ll also have your pick of hole-in-the-wall restaurants, or swanky Michelin starred eateries. You’re sure to stumble across some hidden gems.

Like most neighborhoods in New York City, Hell’s Kitchen is most-rewarding when explored on foot. Stow your extra bags with a nearby Bounce location so you can stroll freely.
