[[File:Hell's Kitchen NYC-Map.png|thumb|A general map of the Hell's Kitchen area, including the northern part of [[Hudson Yards, Manhattan|Hudson Yards]] to the south, but excluding the [[Columbus Circle]] transition area to the north]]
The name "Hell's Kitchen" generally refers to the area between [[34th Street (Manhattan)|34th]] to the south and [[59th Street (Manhattan)|59th Street]] to the north. Starting west of [[Eighth Avenue (Manhattan)|Eighth Avenue]] and the north side of 43rd Street, city zoning regulations generally limit buildings to six stories. As a result, most of the buildings are older, and are often [[wikt:walk-up|walk-up]] [[apartment]]s. For the most part, the neighborhood encompasses the [[ZIP Code]]s 10019 and 10036. The post office for 10019 is called Radio City Station, the original name for [[Rockefeller Center]] on [[Sixth Avenue]].<ref name="nyt19851222">Benson, Michael R.

"Stretching from Eighth Avenue to the Hudson River (busy commercial thoroughfare to sublime park) and from West 59th to West 41st Streets (sleek Time Warner Center to scruffy Port Authority bus terminal), Hell's Kitchen is a jumble of contrasts."</ref>

The neighborhood overlaps [[Times Square]] and the [[Theater District, Manhattan|Theater District]] to the east at Eighth Avenue. On its southeast border, it overlaps the [[Garment District, Manhattan|Garment District]] also on Eighth Avenue. Two landmarks are located here – the [[New Yorker Hotel]] at 481 Eighth Avenue, and the [[Manhattan Center]] building at the northwest corner of 34th Street and Eighth Avenue. Included in the transition area on Eighth Avenue are the [[Port Authority Bus Terminal]] at [[42nd Street (Manhattan)|42nd Street]], the Pride of Midtown fire station (from which an entire shift, 15 firefighters, died at the [[World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center]]), several theatres including [[Studio 54]], the original soup stand of ''[[Seinfeld]]''{{-'}}s "[[The Soup Nazi]]", and the [[Hearst Tower (Manhattan)|Hearst Tower]].<ref name="nyt19851222" />

The northern edge of Hell's Kitchen borders the southern edge of the [[Upper West Side]], though the section west of [[Ninth Avenue (Manhattan)|Ninth Avenue]] and south of [[57th Street (Manhattan)|57th Street]] is also part of the [[Columbus Circle]] neighborhood. 57th Street was traditionally the boundary between the Upper West Side and Hell's Kitchen, but another interpretation puts the northern border at 59th Street, where the names of the north–south avenues change. Included between 57th and 59th Streets the [[Time Warner Center]] at Columbus Circle; [[Hudson Hotel]]; [[Mount Sinai West (hospital)|Mount Sinai West]], where [[John Lennon]] died in 1980 after being shot; and [[John Jay College of Criminal Justice|John Jay College]].<ref name="nyt19851222" />

Beyond the southern boundary is [[Chelsea, Manhattan|Chelsea]]. The [[Hudson Yards, Manhattan|Hudson Yards]] neighborhood overlaps with Hell's Kitchen, and the areas are often lumped together as "West Midtown", given their proximity to the [[Midtown Manhattan]] business district. The traditional dividing line with Chelsea is 34th Street.<ref name="nyt19851222" /> The area between the rail corridor at [[Pennsylvania Station (New York City)|Pennsylvania Station]] and the [[West Side Yard]] and 42nd Street, and east of the [[Jacob K. Javits Convention Center]], is also known as Hell's Kitchen South.<ref>{{cite news |last=Jacobs |first=Andrew |author-link=Andrew Jacobs (journalist) |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/17/nyregion/stadium-shops-condos-calamari-development-fantasies-for-hell-s-kitchen-south.html |title=Stadium, Shops, Condos and Calamari: Development Fantasies for Hell's Kitchen South |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=December 17, 2000 |access-date=May 23, 2020 |archive-date=January 26, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126045855/https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/17/nyregion/stadium-shops-condos-calamari-development-fantasies-for-hell-s-kitchen-south.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.hkscnyc.org/ |title=Hell's Kitchen South Coalition |access-date=May 23, 2020 |archive-date=June 10, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200610044414/https://www.hkscnyc.org/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
