Hell’s Kitchen goes from 34th street to 57th street, west of Eighth Avenue. It is now known as Clinton but many locals call it Hellsea, due to the condo overflow from Chelsea.

Just saw an update today for the Times, just on the west side of 8th at 42nd. That was built solely for movies. I thought Hell’s Kitchen was further north.

This would have served the Hell' Kitchen slum tenements.

  1. That’s really west. The old legit theatres, subsequently grind houses and now many back to legit end at 275 which is not quite to 8th Avenue. This must be past 10th Avenue. I wonder what kind of a neighborhood that was way back when.
