Hell’s Kitchen Local

Have you even been to Hell’s Kitchen if you haven’t had dinner at Arriba Arriba? The Mama Marg is calling your name!!

Love it, quick, easy and delicious!

I love that Arriba Arriba is still going strong since it opened in the 80s. It still attracts a huge gay customer base, especially on Monday nights when Broadway is dark, making it one of the, if not THE, gay restaurant of Hell’s Kitchen.

Friendly service, fair prices, and some of the most delicious burgers available in the world.

Great no-frills neighborhood bar with even better bartenders.

I go to Dave’s fruit stand especially when I need heavily speckled bananas — very soft to the touch and intensely sweet and fragrant — for baking my vegan oatmeal raisin cookies. I’ll be doing a lot of baking for the coming holidays.

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.

I’ve spent years trying to crack the code on health and fitness. There have been plenty of stepping stones along the way, but MFF is where things really clicked. I learned how to set goals I can actually reach, how to stay consistent, how to stop being intimidated by the gym, and how to not take it all so seriously. This place gave me a foundation I can actually build on — and reminded me how good it feels to show up for yourself.

My go-to restaurant for meetings with friends and business meetings! The service is great, I love the food, and I’m happy to run in during the “off times” when it’s quieter.

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.
