Re: Where exactly is Hell's Kitchen?

[(Anonymous)]

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.

(Source: living in NYC, dropped too much money at Hell's Kitchen bars last year while dating a guy who lived there, hah.)

SA

But in terms of specifics, it's west of 8th Ave to the Hudson, north of 34th st (i.e. Penn Station) and South of 59th st (i.e. Columbus Circle, the SW corner of Central Park).

From someone that lives on the other side of the ocean and has been to NYC once in her life for only two days, thanks. This is super interesting insight!
