Hell’s Kitchen Local

I stumbled into this place on a whim a couple years ago when I was doing a show down the street and it quickly became my go-to nail studio. The staff here is so sweet and they always get me together when I need it!

A perfect location for a celebratory dinner and drinks — great vibes and fabulous margaritas!

I’m so grateful to have a wonderful, knowledgeable, caring vet, Dr Liff, so close to home. My fur baby Starr gets so much love from everyone there when we go.

I love being able to bring my little fur baby Starr with me out to eat. This restaurant has a doggie menu, great service and fun doggie events.

An iconic establishment in Hell’s Kitchen, the West Bank Cafe has been the home to Broadway stars, fans and West Siders alike. I have seen countless incredible shows at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, and many fulfilling meals with friends and family at their restaurant — don’t even get me started on their Risotto Balls! Tom and Michael are great owners and friends.

I really enjoy trying foods from around the world, and this has been one of my favorite spots for Thai-Vietnamese food. I actually used to come here even before I lived in the neighborhood. My favorite dish is the Pad See Ew — I always come back for that one.

This is my favorite health food store in the city so I’m so happy to have it close to home. I’ve been going here for 26 years and will continue to go for their incredible organic produce, snacks, supplements and clean products.

As a rescue dog mom, any dog run is my happy place but I particularly like the one at DWC. I bring my dog Bailey here and in his younger years he could run for hours. Now 14, he just enjoys the canine company. It’s one of those places where you always end up chatting with neighbors and dog people are the best people. In a neighborhood like ours, I value having a space like this to just be outside and unplug.

A place where I can get a drink, celebrate with friends and also take a beautiful picture because the decoration is a 10/10? Definitely Miss Nellie’s. It quickly became one of my favorite spots. It’s warm, cozy, a little fancy, and the food and drinks are great quality. I actually found out about it because a Pilates client of mine from Hell’s Kitchen works there and told me it was a must. After going, I kept wondering why I hadn’t discovered it sooner.

Angelina’s bombolones are the best. I like to get two and share with whomever I am meeting with: usually a glazed and one of the many filled flavors.
