Hell’s Kitchen Local

Great pizza pie restaurant and fab cocktails. Not a slice place but well worth dining in.

The cubs pub is perfect. The ratios of sauce to onion, to cheese to burger. Also it has a great family atmosphere. My kids play games while we wait for food. It’s bright and clean and the fries are fried twice so they’re extra crispy

Sometimes a wait, but well worth it!

Small but mighty. A great selection and very knowledgeable staff. Great recommendations for both drinking and cooking.

When I first saw a vintage shop opening on 49th Street, I was puzzled – what a random spot for this, I thought. Two years later, Pat and I are good friends, PDL is one of the best vintage shops in NYC, and HK finally has the nostalgic clothing store it deserves.

OMG! It’s culinary history — from the push cart to the vast array of foods from all regions. I’m currently reading a book about the history of Zabar’s by the late Lori Zabar. I also heard three generations of Zabar’s speak; they were real, raw, authentic and wickedly funny. When I’m traveling, sometimes I’ll have my white shopping bag, and people will say, “OMG, I’ve been to Zabar’s,” and we bond immediately. They show up in movies, plays, and are part of the NYC tapestry.

This is my go-to pick up dinner spot. Grande burrito, please!

Libraries connect us with our community. So much knowledge, legacy and the power of our history, the arts and the programs they offer, in addition to the vast collection of books. I believe deeply in the importance of libraries. The staff at that library is so lovely, helpful, and welcoming. I feel sanity wash over me in a crazy world. I adore the Libby app, because I try not to order that much from Amazon, given their recent political leanings. YAY NYPL!

Greenery, people, bikes, kids, dogs, diversity and even some of the tacky kiosks, it’s all part of NYC charm — need I say more?

The combo is a great deal and the burger is seasoned well and it's dry. Toppings are on point and fries are amazing as well
