Activity Information:
Activity Description
This multi-ethnic neighborhood centers on Ninth Avenue from 38th to 50th Streets - a food-lover’s paradise. Originally a warehouse diestrict, enriched by waves of immigrants, and encouraged by its proximity to the Broadway theater district, Hell’s Kitchen is now home to an unusually large variety of ethnic restaurants and specialty food stores.
We'll begin with a light breakfast at one of New York's best caterers, near the lower-end of Hell’s Kitchen where the neighborhood’s grittier side is still evident. We'll then head to the various bakeries, butchers and food suppliers that have been here for years. The stores run the gamut from the Cupcake Café, the Ninth Avenue International Market and the (refrigerated) Big Apple Meat Market where customers walk past racks holding huge cuts of meat. We'll see an Italian specialty foods store established in 1893, an African grocery store, a Middle Eastern spice market, and much more.
As we cross 42nd Street, the signs of gentrification begin; the neighborhood changes, stores are more upscale and the theater district's influence is more evident. At the northern end, we'll stroll through the beautifully designed Community Garden, a unique New York phenomenon, accessible to community residents. This lovely garden offers a haven amidst the hustle and bustle.
Lastly, we'll conclude with lunch at a local ethnic restaurant, either Ethiopian, Argentine, Chinese, Thai or Italian.
