Talk:Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan

message: Today Hell's Kitchen is a mixed neighborhood of yuppies, artists, hipsters, longtime Irish, Puerto Rican, and Dominican residents, and an increasing number of gays. Now largely free from street crime, it is, for the most part, removed from the degree of gangsterism which has long characterized the neighborhood.
For example what is this paragraph based on? it has no citation.--Crossmr 21:28, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Call me crazy, but when I was younger I remember distinctly that Clinton referred to everything on the west side north of Chelsea-which ended at 23rd/234th -  and south of 42nd.  I distinctly remember a friend that lived in Clinton, and he was on 25th.  Hell's kitchen was a smaller area north of 42nd, and west of broadway.  There's definitely been some real-estate, and government "adjustment" of these names here.  Not surprising, but it should be noted.  Especially since the this article isn't consistent with the Chelsea article.  Chelsea is stated to end at 23rd, yet this article states that Clinton goes from 34th to 57th and overlaps with Chelsea.  Something is a bit wonky, it can probably be solved by someone digging up some history on the name.  For reference the East Village article does a good job of noting that it used to be Lower East Side, and why it changed/is changing back. Domhail 18:15, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Clinton and Hell's Kitchen.

message: "The names of places in New York City change, either due to the influence of land developers, the City government, or because a name no longer suits a neighborhood's character. A name never changes, though, unless the residents of the city collectively adopt it, which usually takes years and is an uninformal process whereby most people begin to refer to an area by its new name. A recent new name that took root is DUMBO, whereas referring to Hell's Kitchen as "Clinton" has largely been eschewed. Similarly, New York resident rarely refer to Sixth Avenue as Avenue of the Americas. A new neighborhood name may be controversial, as may be its perceived boundaries."
How is that POV? --DavidShankBone 18:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi David:  My rationale for nuking the paragraph would more accurately be that it is off topic (e.g., Sixth Avenue and DUMBO are not Hell's Kitchen) and doesn't really add anything about the hood to the article.  Along with that nuke I also reverted a less precise address for Manhattan Plaza (that was done by the previous poster) Americasroof 18:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason I included it was because I am often asked by out-of-towners why one place has two names.  I've lived in my adult life, for long stretches of time in six states and 15 cities around the country, and I've never seen such a battle over names of places, or such passion.  The reasons are obvious.  But do you not think that helps to give context?  The wording can be changed (perhaps not "eschewed"), but I thought it was good.  No?  --DavidShankBone 18:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While I still feel it is probably off topic, I would be interested in what others say.  I won't wrestle over it.  Thanks for asking.   Americasroof 20:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I am adding some lines, I have found this: "West Side Story had a fascinating history even before it was presented to the public in New York. The original idea was to center the plot around a Jewish boy and an Italian Catholic girl. The street gangs were to be Catholics vs. Jews. It was shelved for six years because of prior commitments of the parties involves. Finally, it was decided that a native born Polish boy and a newly arrived Puerto Rican girl scenario was more timely and relevant."

I have a direct view of the cruise ship ports from my apartment (I even log the ships that do dock here if anyone thinks that would be relevant info to add).

message: I'm not sure I understand the addition of Davy Crockett's quote. We're discussing Hell's Kitchen, and the quote is about The Five Points, which is downtown Manhattan on the East Side. I could understand if it was the first use of the term—ever—was it?? If so, yes, I see the need to mention it. If not, are you generalizing, calling all New York Irish people at that time in history savages? If that is the case, I do not think it is relevant to the piece. Historically, then, the comment and the naming of the area would not be connected at all. This is a specific quote about an area (Five Points) in Manhattan where the population density was much higher than in the wide open spaces of what was considered "uptown" at the time. Please clarify.  Pookerella (talk) 01:32, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

message: "The 1969 City Planning Commission's 1969 Plan for New York City reported that development pressures related to its Midtown location were driving people of modest means from the area, and the gritty reputation that Hell's Kitchen developed afterward kept real estate prices below those of most other areas of Manhattan."
Prices were rising so fast it was driving out people of modest means; on the other hand, they weren't rising because of the neighborhood's reputation! GeneCallahan (talk) 15:33, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Speaking of Hell's Kitchen's name, I recently reverted a set of edits that claimed that "nobody" referred to HK as Clinton.  reverted back, saying that Hell's Kitchen was the original name and that Clinton thus could not have been a former name. However, "former" does not mean "original"; it is possible for Clinton to have been a former name without it being the original name. The NY Times does support the fact that Clinton is an alternate/former name.
* This 1994 article says that "Clinton" was a relatively new name for Hell's Kitchen but that it didn't catch on with some people.
* This 2000 article says both names were used interchangeably, but that the city created the Clinton Special District to cover a part of the neighborhood.
* This 2009 article describes the name Clinton as having originated in 1959 but says that other people preferred the HK name.
Epicgenius (talk) 19:08, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: My issue with “formerly” is that it implies that Clinton was the original name, or that Clinton was once the primary name. But Hell’s Kitchen was the original name and has always been the primary name used by New Yorkers. My impression is that in 1959 there was an artificial and cynical attempt to use Clinton as a name (e.g. this name wss promoted by businesses and real estate agents, who are now trying to promote other names, like Midtown West). But these alternate names have never been accepted by most New Yorkers. Daceyvillain (talk) 21:30, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: How about “formerly occasionally” instead of “formerly” ? Daceyvillain (talk) 21:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I do agree with you that Clinton is a relative neologism and that the proper name has always been Hell's Kitchen; my issue was the complete removal of the alternate name. However, the wording "occasionally" gives the impression that Clinton was seldom used, when that might not have been the case in the past. For example, the 1994 NYT article describes both new and old residents as using both names roughly interchangeably. As such, I'd suggest rewording "formerly" to "formerly also". – Epicgenius (talk) 21:56, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
