Times Square is about 0.4 miles (0.6 km) away in a straight line, Penn Station about 0.4 miles (0.7 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.8 miles (1.3 km), and the Central Park edge at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street about 1.1 miles (1.8 km). Observation decks are about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) away in a straight line. These are straight-line figures; city streets and traffic affect the actual route. Check current conditions before setting out.

Location and neighborhood

Hell's Kitchen works well when your flight lands early or your train gets in late. The neighborhood fills the west side of Midtown from 34th Street to 59th Street, between the Theater District and the Hudson. Ninth Avenue runs through its middle, with Restaurant Row and a dense run of food places along the avenue. Numbered cross streets make walking simple, and you can reach Times Square, Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal on foot. Late at night, stay on lit avenues and check current subway service before setting out.

For an early departure, the west-side grid keeps the route simple: head east for the Theater District and Grand Central Terminal, or south for Penn Station. Buses and the subway run through the neighborhood, though overnight service can change, so check the current timetable with the transit authority. Keep your bearings by the avenue names: Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh avenues run north to south. The Hudson River parks on the west edge give a quiet place to wait out a delay, and the blocks near the terminals stay active at most hours.

Getting there and around

Getting in and out is straightforward if you plan for the hour. The road distance from the airport is around 14 miles (22.1 km); where a rail link exists, it can be quicker when roads are busy. Four Points by Sheraton Midtown Times Square is around 0.8 miles (1.3 km) from the main rail station, which helps on late arrivals and early departures. Within the neighborhood, walk the avenues and use the subway for longer hops; tap to pay at the turnstiles and check current service updates with the transit authority. A late arrival should confirm the last train or bus rather than assume overnight frequencies.

Nearby sights and food

Sights cluster on both sides of Hell's Kitchen. The Intrepid Museum sits at the Hudson edge on the west side. East of the neighborhood, Broadway theaters fill the Theater District around Times Square; evening curtains are usually at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show. The Museum of Modern Art is a short walk or subway ride east, and Hudson Yards and the Vessel lie south along the Hudson. Observation decks are spread across Midtown, and Grand Central Terminal is east on 42nd Street. Check opening days before setting out.

Food is one of the reasons to base a stay here. Restaurant Row, on West 46th Street, packs pre-theater dining into a short block, while Ninth Avenue runs through the neighborhood with a long mix of casual counters, bakeries, delis and sit-down rooms. Menus cover Thai, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Indian and Middle Eastern cooking, with pizza slices and noodle bowls for quick meals. Portions and noise levels vary, so look at a menu before sitting down. Late-night options thin out after the theaters close, but the avenues usually keep a few places open.

A day from Four Points by Sheraton Midtown Times Square

A day from Four Points by Sheraton Midtown Times Square can begin early with a walk west to the Hudson River paths while the streets are quiet. Continue south to Hudson Yards and the Vessel, then loop back through the neighborhood for a late breakfast at a bakery or diner. Spend midday at the Intrepid Museum or cross to the Museum of Modern Art, checking opening hours and timed entry before you go. In the afternoon, walk the Theater District and Grand Central Terminal. Have an early dinner near Restaurant Row, see a Broadway show if tickets are available, then return to Four Points by Sheraton Midtown Times Square on foot or by subway.
