Cheap hotels in Hell's Kitchen, New York
The westernmost area of Midtown stretches from Eighth Avenue out to the Hudson River, bounded by 34th Street to the south and 59th Street to the north. The area's evocative name refers to its tumultuous history—through much of the 19th and 20th centuries—as a concrete jungle notorious for its crime, slaughterhouses, docks and tenements. In the '50s the murderous "turf wars" raged on in the "West Side," even while the the musical they inspired ("West Side Story") snapped, sang and high-kicked a few blocks away.
These days, much of the area's gritty past has been glammed over by chic eateries and luxury condos, and the city's largest gay scene has moved to the neighborhood from nearby Chelsea.
