Re: Ask about New York thread!

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, glad to help. FWIW, Hell's Kitchen is sometimes also called "Midtown West." Businesses pushed to rename it "Clinton" in the 60s, but it never stuck. The name used to reflect the rough reality of the place, but now its use is more ~fun and edgy~.

one of the maps my roommate has in our kitchen says 'clinton' instead of 'hell's kitchen' lol

but tbh even those 'you are here' nyc maps that they have by like parks say hell's kitchen, so p much everyone's given up on the clinton thing (it helps that hk got a reputation for rly good restaurants, so ppl largely associate the name with food lol)

but yeah it's p much nothing like marvel!hell's kitchen irl (like... it's somewhere i will probably never afford to live, tho i know a couple phd students who live there, so who knows)
