Hell’s Kitchen Local

There are few problems a Sacco sausage roll can’t solve.

Fantastic Brazilian food! It’s incredible that it’s still around and rocking!

While the Eugene O’Neill Theatre is the house where I saw my first Broadway show, the Nederlander Theatre is the first Broadway theater that I ever actually saw.

"I love Claudio's Veggie pizza because i feel like i am getting all my food groups covered in one big slice 🍕 ....LOL Their garlic knots are to die for!! 😋"

The West Bank Cafe is an essential gathering place for the theatre community and I am so grateful to its new owners, Tom and Michael D’Angora, and its former owner Steve Olsen, for making it such a home for so many!

Best margaritas

UT47 mixes Korean and American food in the best way. It’s cozy, stylish, and perfect for brunch or a chill lunch, their happy hour special is so good and is worth every dollar. They have great coffee and bubble tea too. Honestly, it’s one of those places that feels like a little hidden gem in the middle of the city, especially their new location on 9th Ave!

Stephen Reed, the owner, provides a sense of family at the studio. There’s kindness everywhere. My favorite instructor, Kenny Larson teaches a two-hour contemporary ballet class that is creative yet technical. This palatial studio is my second home and even now at my older age, the wonderful classes still motivate me to dance.

The burger is outstanding. Service is top tier. It’s a place that makes you remember what it’s like to know your neighbors.

The burger is exclusive to brunch or their late night menu so it’s not available all the time. That makes it already a treat! Besides the cheese and locally sourced brioche, everything else is made in house! The beef and lamb patty, the onion jam, the sambal mayo, the pickled chilies, and pickle on the side are all so fresh and harmonious. Truly something different and special!
