It is considered to be bordered by 34th Street (or 41st Street) to the south, 59th Street to the north, Eighth Avenue to the east, and the Hudson River to the west. Until the 1970s, Hell's Kitchen was a bastion of poor and working-class Irish Americans.

Today, the area has a large LGBTQ population and is home to a large number of LGBTQ bars and bus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
