In today's New York, it's not much of a "neighborhood," tbh. It's got some fun bars etc and can have a decent buzz, but it's a dense, gentrified area on the west side of Midtown. Anything that close to Times Square and the theater district isn't going to have much by way of ~grit~ or character today. It's just....city, with a fair number of tourists who turned the wrong way out of their theaters.

Which is why it's clever of the writers to use the Battle of New York to explain why Hell's Kitchen has gone back to the sleazier days of the first Daredevil comics.

But long story short...the Hell's Kitchen of DD might as well be a fictional locale, for all the resemblance it bears to reality. Much of the show is filmed in Brooklyn.
