    I loved this "guide", so I am now a subscriber to your channel. I am a native of NYC, and a resident of HK for nearly 10 years now. Did you give any consideration to the impact of the Westies on HK? The gang's zenith of power was the 1960s through 1980s. Just something to consider... I look forward to watching more of your fine work!

    From the comments I have read....I don't think they really know the depth and detailed effort you have presented here. I have lived in Hell's Kitchen for almost 30 years and I am saluting you for a Job so extremely well done....Much love

    I needed to hear that last bit about Daredevil. The gritty, gloomy atmosphere of its setting turned me off from looking up Hell's Kitchen until today lmao.

    • @UrbanCaffeine
      @UrbanCaffeine  3 роки тому +3

      lol. If you have watched the show, the bar that they frequent was filmed at the Turkey's Nest in Greenpoint/Williamburgs (which is actually a nice neighborhood). A lot of shows these days are filmed in Greenpoint and Long Island City.

    Great Thea, Hell's kitchen is my second favorite area to walk, after the lower east side. The hotel i stay at is on 47th between 7th and 8th, so it's very handy, one of my must stops is the Landmark Tavern on 46th, across from the Intrepid, a quick refreshnent then walk the Hi-Line. Keep the videos coming, Thank You

      Tbh, there are other stories of where the name comes from and there's no clear evidence to prove any of them. But it was for sure long before Gordon Ramsey 😅

      The Mafia mostly stayed away when I lived there. It was Irish gang territory - the Westies. But the Mafia and Westies worked together occasionally.
