Hell’s Kitchen Local

One word: pie.

A lovely restaurant with a romantic lower level lounge — have a seat on the sofa by the fireplace.

The Marshal is the perfect cozy brunch spot. It has such a warm, welcoming vibe — especially on weekends. The food is soooo delicious and the drinks are even better. It’s the kind of place where you want to sit, relax, and enjoy a long brunch with friends. One of my favorite cozy spots in the neighborhood.

Jeremy, who runs this shop, and his wonderful staff are so great at helping you pick wines. They have a range of prices, and are so good about selecting the perfect wine for your palate or mood. I’ve gone in and asked for an easy crowd pleaser to serve at a soup party, and for chill whites to go with Thai take-out and their picks are perfect nearly every time. Plus, they put on great wine tasting events.

During my days of living in Hong Kong, I got addicted to getting foot massages once a week. It was my weekend routine. This place reminds me of the massages I used to get there. They are priced really well, and they do a great job. I usually get a half-hour foot massage and a half-hour back massage to get the best of both worlds.

Small businesses keep Hell’s Kitchen and our city great. The Little Pie Company boasts incredible pies, made from scratch with fantastic ingredients! What’s not to love?!

I am a bread lady and I cannot live without a good Amy’s baguette. I go to both the Hells’ Kitchen and Chelsea locations, but I love how intimate the Hell’s Kitchen location is. It’s a great place to meet friends in the neighborhood. It’s always lively.

This restaurant has delicious catfish, Cajun fries, lobster mac and cheese and cocktails to-go, which I’ve packed for summer picnics in Central Park. The mango margarita has a real kick!

They have the best cupcakes! Also a place where I (should) only visit sparingly!

The Sheep’s Meadow is a great respite from the city.
