Hell’s Kitchen Local

The burgers are yummy and affordable.

When Romer opened a few years ago, their goal was to be a true neighborhood hotel — more Hell’s Kitchen than Times Square. Long before they officially opened, they reached out to us, and it was immediately clear that supporting local businesses was a key part of their mission. Their Corner Store carries a selection of our items, and they’ve included us in several of their lobby events. We’ve had friends and family stay there, all of whom had great experiences. And since opening last Fall, their restaurant, So & So’s, has quickly become one of our favorite spots to hang.

This relatively new market actually has fantastic, organic produce and fresh herbs — even lemongrass! Really well-stocked and super friendly.

One of my favorite dessert places in the neighborhood!. Their cookies are yummy. Dangerous, as I can only visit it sparingly!

Suzy Darling is a small business inspiration. It’s remarkable what she’s done with her tiny spaces. They’re much more than having a beer or a glass of wine. She creates an experience. Christmas Eve several years ago, we had dinner at a neighborhood restaurant and had “one more” at Pocket Bar. Suzy showed up dressed as Mrs Claus, with a tray full of hotdogs to share with everyone at the bar. Random? Totally. But it was an unforgettable night.

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.

Right downstairs – I can swing by for a breakfast sandwich, amazing lentil soup, or chicken parm wraps and more! Congenial staff and usually quick check out

I love theater and I love to write about theater, which is why this gem of a bookshop is one of my favorite places to sit and write or sometimes just plain read. Their book selection is fantastic but I’m also a big fan of their Broadway-themed lattes and Broadway-themed wifi passwords.

This is hands down the best bodega in Hell’s Kitchen. Everyone who works there is an absolute gem and the food there is always chef’s kiss.

I love to get my nails done and although there are a lot of nail salons in Hell’s Kitchen, I love this one the best. The owner is like a pure ray of sunshine — always so happy and friendly. And they do an awesome job on my nails!
