Hell’s Kitchen Local

I am addicted to their Thai Iced Tea. It is unbelievably good, like no other I have ever had. It really tastes nothing like other Thai places I’ve gone to. And the staff is so friendly and sweet.

I love the smell of pies and cakes baking as it swirls through the air when I walk by. Since switching to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle, I don’t stop in as often as I used to — but when I want to treat myself, I indulge in their raisin bran muffins.

My youngest son’s favorite quick stop to grab a slice or two to go.

How lucky am I to have a fresh fish market a few blocks from my apartment? These markets have become almost extinct. I love walking in and they know exactly what I want and are so welcoming. There are some very good people working behind that counter.

This place makes me happy every time I walk by thanks to the local artwork displayed in the windows. I’ve worked with them for years, and it’s always been a pleasure. I usually do my own framing, but whenever I’ve entrusted them with a piece, they’ve done exceptional work. It’s an efficiently run business, and I’m glad to see it still thriving in a neighborhood that has lost so many great businesses since the pandemic. If you have a photograph, painting, or treasured piece of art that needs framing, I highly recommend them.

Live jazz and a great atmosphere.

Planet Taco is good at 5pm and its great at 2am. I’m from Texas so I love a taco and this place never disappoints. They have a variety of salsas that you can top your tacos off with too. Yum!!

My husband Bobby runs this theater company, The Actor’s Gym, there every Thursday.

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

They are the absolute best! I love coming here and making a lamination/tint appointment with the owner Santi, who is the best in the biz!
