Hell’s Kitchen

February 20, 2012

By Nicole McLaren

Located just west of midtown, Hell’s Kitchen gets its flavour from its neighbours: the Theatre and Garment districts. Peppered with off-Broadway stages, the neighbourhood is well-known for its diverse offering of post-show gourmet for the discerning theatre-goer. Aspiring actors moonlight in the upscale lounges, classic comedy clubs and cosy pubs found on Restaurant Row.

Hell’s Kitchen is also a haven for designers, due to its proximity to the biggest fashion labels and design showrooms in the city.

FAJO Magazine spots some of the Best Dressed people in the area.
