Goodbye Hells Kitchen....Hello Manhattan!
Welcome to New York...a City Journal by Hotwheeler
It seems like an awfully long Time has passed since we stranded in Hells Kitchen.
Sure,we visited Lincoln Square and the famous Lincoln Center of Modern Arts,sniffed a Breeze of fresh Air when standing on the old Aircraft Carrier which is now a famous Air and Spacecraft Museum and even tried everything the Kitchens and Diners in Hells Kitchen have to offer.
But still...there is something i miss.I need to travel..Besides that,Development didn`t stop at the Boundaries of Hells Kitchen.Sure,it took some time,but now it is slowly infiltrating the outer boundaries and inner Blocks of this Fortress of dirty Theaters,Garages,Tyre Dealers and Furniture Warehouses.
Besides that,it seems that i have to go anyway.A greedy Real Estate Guy and an Architect without any signs of Taste or common sense bought a large bundle of Land.The Tiny Apartmentbuilding i`m living in will be razed soon,the neighboring Building already met the Wrecking Ball...
Damn,i enjoyed that little Bar across the Street and the Deli next Door.
I think it`s time to move on.I had a great Time in Hells Kitchen and made a lot of nice Pictures for you...
The Area around the Croation Church is also under heavy Development.Massive Condos and Office Buildings everywhere,slowly suppressing the historic Building Stock.
a
The American Museum of Natural History looks sort of mysterious at Night...
The West 79th Street heading towards the Henry Hudson Parkway...
A Bunch of old Shops in Amsterdam Avenue...
Development doesn`t sleep,Okay maybe at Night...
Once the Place of a bunch of lovely Shops and now a building Ground...
The Holy Cross Church next to a bunch of old Rowhouses in West 42nd Street..
More Room to build more unaffordable Condos...this Time near the Croatan Church...
And down the Drains we go...
Gas Stations,the perfect Victims for Real Estate Development.No one is driving a Car in NYC,right?
An empty Lot next to the Broadway?You can have it....for 10.000.000 $$$ 
The New York Historic Society...
Everyone loves Sightseing Tours...especially at Night in a Helicopter...
One Worldwide Plaza at Night...
And a bunch of Rowhouses in OWP`s Shadow...
Livin`in the PJ`s next to Lincoln Square...
Two affordable Housing Towers between W 73th and W 74th Street at Westend Avenue
I hope you liked our little Tour through Hells Kitchen and the neighboring Blocks.
Let`s see where we will met next Time.Maybe Garment District or Upper West Side...we will see.
