Hell’s Kitchen Local

Great location , staff and burger and many options for vegan friends.

Irma, the owner, and the rest of the staff are wonderful. The food and drinks are consistently excellent. The spicy margarita is my favorite, hitting the right balance of spicy and sweet.

This shop has the best olives and cheese in the neighborhood. They also have the greatest spices. I come here to stock up on cheeses and hard-to-find foreign foods. Every December, I come to get freshly grated nutmeg and clove to make my annual winter gingersnaps.

Great coffee, amazing food, lots of tables. I’ve written many songs sitting at this coffee shop.

My home away from home from the time it was on 55th and Broadway to now, on 45th Street. I did many student showcases and though I missed participating this year because of my bodybuilding comp, I’m planning to participate next year.

This was my home for 10 years while dancing with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in the early 2000s and again for the past six years as I’ve been teaching at Ailey Extension. I love teaching Pilates Fusion on Sundays at 11am. My students are of all ages and levels but are all so open and receptive to my unique style which combines Pilates, dance, yoga, mobility, stability, muscle activation and breath work. I have people in-studio and from all over the world online as well. Then I get to teach dance classes to the kids and teens. I love getting to help shape young dancers and share what I’ve learned throughout my journey as a performing artist.

Great burgers and ice cream they do no wrong!

Love the vibes- the Sylvester smash and the Cub’s pub are my favs! Such a gem in HK! Love from City Spots!

If I didn’t live in Hell’s Kitchen, I’d absolutely be living in Italy. I love going to Norma for their pasta alla norma, a classic Sicilian dish featuring eggplant and tomato. Paired with a glass of Grillo, this is one of the best ways to spend a Sunday night.

Enough said! Love the proximity, and the fact that the Skint often has great deals on seats!
