Hell’s Kitchen Local

Taking the kids to their baseball or flag football games, have a catch, play basketball, pickle ball, tennis…

There is a new location for this Italian restaurant at Silver Towers, and I am obsessed with their $7 breakfast special of a pastry and the coffee. The elderly mother of a neighbor described their Pain au Chocolate as "elegant," and when I had it for the first time, I could not agree more. I am also into their focaccia. I am spoiled that this is right near where I live, so it's a good location for a quick late night bite before bed when I've had a long day campaigning.

Pier 84 is an incredible green space where I love to go for walks. It also provides a great view of the Hudson River, where I paddle board whenever I can.

I’ve been coming here since I worked at Waachtell.

The food is amazing and the service is always friendly. The vibe is lively and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Whether it’s their pollo adobado, spicy mezcal paloma or their delicious guacamole, I always leave happy!

Live jazz and a great atmosphere.

During my days of living in Hong Kong, I got addicted to getting foot massages once a week. It was my weekend routine. This place reminds me of the massages I used to get there. They are priced really well, and they do a great job. I usually get a half-hour foot massage and a half-hour back massage to get the best of both worlds.

The gents from Delphinium are Hell’s Kitchen retail pioneers, having been in business for nearly 30 years! I feel like only other small business owners truly understand what a feat that is.

As someone who is keenly attuned to animal welfare, I am very rarely able to order burgers - let alone any beef or poultry - at restaurants since it is an exception to be raised sustainably. The Marshall's mountainous wood fired burger meets my criteria, and exceeds it with the cheddar cheese, remoulade sauce, and side of sweet potato fries with unique ketchup. It never fails to disappoint, and is always my go-to dinner when I am in Hell's Kitchen at night!

The Viagra Empanada, ’nuff said!
