Hell’s Kitchen Local

Matt and Enrique are Hell’s Kitchen residents with impeccable style. I love shopping at Fine and Dandy for hats and other accessories. Their curated shop is one of my favorites in the city.

This is my go to grocery store. Big Apple Meat Market has the most affordable groceries I've found in NYC. Freshest chicken (preferably thin sliced) and I don't think many people know of this place.

It’s fabulous that it’s located here in Hell’s Kitchen! I’ve gone to live tapings with Jon Stewart a few times, Trevor Noah and DL Hughley. I've loved the show since it I started watching it in the '90s!

I am a little naughty. I have been inconsistent member, however I was greeted with such a welcome recently that it has truly made me feel like I must keep going regularly and following the program suggested by the fabulous trainers. And I know, of course, that working out at my own pace is good for me. Also, it's quite wonderful to work out with Hell's Kitchen neighbors on occasion.

When I think of Claudio’s I think of my childhood; I don’t remember life before a time that I knew Claudio himself, and it doesn’t hurt that the pizza is always perfect.

My husband and I love the craft beers along with the turkey burgers, sweet potato fries and fish and chips. Willie, the manager, is always so friendly.  We so enjoy sitting outside and watching the diversity that is Hell's Kitchen!

A go-to for decades, I've loved this French spot since before I even moved to New York. I don't drink any more, but their Bloody Mary is one of the best in the city and brunch always nails it. You can't go wrong with dinner there, either!

I buy bread from both Amy's and Sullivan Street on a pretty equal basis. Amy's tends to offer a wider selection of breads and sweet things, like their unique "twists". Sullivan Street's Pugliese is crusty on the outside and softer on the inside. In short, I go to Amy's for variety and Sullivan Street for mouth-feel.

A relatively new addition to the neighborhood, Norma specializes in Sicilian food. My husband and I love to split an arancini (Sicilian rice ball) and two pizzas; my favorite is the diavolo and his is the mortadella. Great Sicilian wine list as well.

Great neighborhood spot — try the cannelle, warmed up.
