Hell’s Kitchen Local

One and done - just 1 slice of their signature pizza settles even the most ravenous hunger!

Ok so on the reals...I don't eat meat anymore BUT when I did my mouth would water for the burgers at Landmark. They have the charbroiled grill taste with mushrooms and your taste buds will go WILD! not to mention their delicious hand cut fries... I'm crying thinking about it now... Trust me you WON'T be sorry!

One word — Margarita. Now, I previously said authentic Mexican was important to me and something I’m on the hunt for. I can’t say I come here for that. I come here because it’s an institution! The margaritas are lethal, the staff is fun, and the food? Well, the food is good enough. Love this place for a pre-show drink and chips.

I always recommend this restaurant to friends and family before a show. It’s a fabulous restaurant, with a great staff and a super nice owner. They often keep the kitchen open late for Natalie and me, so it’s our go-to spot.

A family go-to for taking friends or ordering for movie night.

Everything at Empanada Mama is amazing! Despite the name, they offer so much more than just empanadas (although their empanadas are incredible) and every single thing on their menu is truly delicious. Plus, it’s one of the few spots open 24-hours in the neighborhood. Word to the wise however — be careful with that sangria. It’s tasty but deadly.

Easily my favorite bar in the area with great staff and ambience. If you want to snack, I’d highly recommend the brussels sprouts. They’re fabulous!

Having a great local izakaya nearby just makes Hell’s Kitchen that much better. The food and drinks are always on point, and they recently opened a small speakeasy-style bar in the back that’s become one of my favorite spots to unwind.

Grind is a relatively new (at least for my long HK history) addition to Hell’s Kitchen. The coffee is very good and they have a nice selection of breakfast and lunch options. If you sit in the window, it makes for excellent people watching.

Tannen’s Magic Shop is so historic, dark, mysterious and everything you want a magic shop to be. You’ll regularly find me here browsing the huge bookshelf of magic books. I just can’t get enough!
