Hell’s Kitchen Local

The food, vibes, staff, every detail is perfection. The burgers never disappoint and I love the flavor combo of each one; again, perfection!

I LOVE a great rooftop, and this one is spectacular. It used to be Press Lounge but has re-opened recently as Hudson VU, along with a great new menu. It gives you such a prime vantage point to really see all of Hell’s Kitchen surrounded by the high-rise buildings at the perimeter of the Special Clinton District. I take all my out-of-town visitors here.

My favorite food spot in HK. Between the bumping DJ sets, authentic homey atmosphere and the massive ribeye, it’s clear why this little spot is always packed to the brim.

As a year-round soup girlie, Ippudo just can’t be beat. Their hearty ramen bowls and delectable chicken buns keep me coming back, no matter what season it is.

Lovely’s double cheeseburger is the best burger in the hood and entire city

This place is FUN. The pre-theatre crowd is a hoot – you can always find an out-of-towner to chat with at the bar if that’s your thing. The after-theatre crowd is fun because it’s mostly locals and theatre folks. I’ve taken my mom here at Christmas and we’ve gotten tipsy on several Kinky Boots, which is something we still laugh about.

The burgers are unmatched! Melt in your mouth and a flavor explosion at the same time. I also love the retro community counter inside!

My go-to restaurant for meetings with friends and business meetings! The service is great, I love the food, and I’m happy to run in during the “off times” when it’s quieter.

Tacuba has a great selection of various flavors using fresh juices/purees such as the Sandia de Margarita (watermelon - my favorite)! There are no premixes used here! All fresh ingredients! Super friendly and attentive bartenders and servers, great music, and plenty of open space.

The avocado ranch burger is fantastic!
