Hell’s Kitchen Local

This place is just fantastic, and my daughter gets to eat for free! The quality of the food is incredible, and the small sushi bar that they have on the island is surprisingly good.

A place where I can get a drink, celebrate with friends and also take a beautiful picture because the decoration is a 10/10? Definitely Miss Nellie’s. It quickly became one of my favorite spots. It’s warm, cozy, a little fancy, and the food and drinks are great quality. I actually found out about it because a Pilates client of mine from Hell’s Kitchen works there and told me it was a must. After going, I kept wondering why I hadn’t discovered it sooner.

An iconic establishment in Hell’s Kitchen, the West Bank Cafe has been the home to Broadway stars, fans and West Siders alike. I have seen countless incredible shows at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, and many fulfilling meals with friends and family at their restaurant — don’t even get me started on their Risotto Balls! Tom and Michael are great owners and friends.

I’m so grateful to have a wonderful, knowledgeable, caring vet, Dr Liff, so close to home. My fur baby Starr gets so much love from everyone there when we go.

I love bringing relatives here for breakfast when they are in town, or stopping by with my co-workers for brunch after an early morning matinee. Great pancakes!

I really enjoy trying foods from around the world, and this has been one of my favorite spots for Thai-Vietnamese food. I actually used to come here even before I lived in the neighborhood. My favorite dish is the Pad See Ew — I always come back for that one.

Rain or shine, late night or early morning, this food truck has been a reliable affordable food option. With incredibly friendly habibis (Issam and Sa’id) and the three brothers (Saleh, Mo and Abdul) whose family have run business for generations, they serve what I think is some of the best halal food in NYC.

BDC makes me happy because it’s a place I’ve always dreamed of. Even when I was very young in Argentina, I had heard about it and imagined what it would be like to take classes there. Now, being able to go whenever I want, take any class I want and learn from teachers who are truly amazing and rare gems — it’s honestly a dream come true. Just being able to walk through those doors feels like a dream.

Hell’s Kitchen Park is one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. It’s a true West Side community hub where you’ll always find dedicated community gardeners tending to the space and neighbors stopping to catch up with one another. No matter when you visit, you’re bound to run into a familiar face. I’m especially proud to have led the team that installed the wall mural there, adding another layer of beauty and vibrancy to this central gathering place for our community.

Living near It’s Him, I know it is a great place to catch up with friends over a drink, or for a nightcap after a long day. I recently held a campaign event here, and we filled the place! I’m so grateful to the workers for their incredible help that night, and it was a great place to build excitement for our growing campaign.
