HELL’S KITCHEN Introducing our new directory section, an essential guide to everything that makes our neighborhood hot as hell
N
otice something different about us this month? Open up and inside you’ll find our pick of neighborhood hotspots – the best of the westside. We’re unbelievably proud to be a part of Hell’s Kitchen, and we want everyone to discover its best bits too. Over our first year in business in Hell’s Kitchen, you’ve told us how much you love the magazine. You say we’ve helped you discover new places for to eat, drink, hang out – or even where to take a great picture of a sunset or mural. But often you ask: “Where is that?” Well, now we can tell you. Our team of artists and editors has been hard at work creating the “go-to” guide for what’s happening in the ‘hood (a huuuuge thank you to Jeanine Henderson, the artist behind our summer issue cover who blew us away with this illustrated map). Next month, there’ll be even more. We’re launching W42ST+ at the back of the magazine. This will be a combination of guide and directory that will not only include this map, but will be continuously updated with fun places to go, and listings of local businesses (I’ve been struggling to find an electrician and a chiropractor this month ... sound familiar?). We’d love your feedback. What have we missed? (We know for sure there’ll be heaps.) What are the bits you like? What would make it easier for you to find new places – and rediscover old favorites? What would you like to see in the guide? Maybe you have an idea for a walking map of Hell’s Kitchen? Could you plot the best architecture? Share your secret cocktail spots? Do you want to know where all the no-broker fee rentals are on the Westside? Or perhaps you’d just like to know where to get a great cup of coffee? We won’t know unless you tell us, so please share. Email me, phil@w42st.com, or contact us via social media. We’d love to hear from you. Have a very happy 2016.
