The setting

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Times Square South sits at 333 West 38th Street in Hell's Kitchen, Midtown Manhattan, a short walk from the Theater District and a few blocks from Penn Station. Distances here are straight-line: Times Square about 0.4 miles (0.7 km), Penn Station about 0.3 miles (0.5 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.9 miles (1.4 km), Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street about 1.2 miles (2 km), the 9/11 Memorial about 3.2 miles (5.2 km).

Location and neighborhood

Hell's Kitchen occupies the west side of Midtown Manhattan, running from 34th Street north to 59th Street and from Eighth Avenue west to the Hudson River. The numbered grid makes it easy to learn: streets run east-west, avenues north-south, and Fifth Avenue divides East from West street numbers. Broadway cuts diagonally through the district on its way to the Theater District. Most visitors arrive at Penn Station or the Port Authority Bus Terminal and are already inside the neighborhood. Addresses west of Ninth Avenue feel quieter, with low-rise blocks leading toward the waterfront.

Restaurant Row on West 46th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues packs a run of kitchens into one block, busy before and after theater curtains. Ninth Avenue is the other spine, a long line of food shops, bakeries and casual rooms that changes character block by block. Between the two, side streets hold groceries, delis and small counters that serve the people who live here. The district stays active late, though the far western blocks toward the Hudson turn quiet after dark. For a first visit from La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Times Square South, the geography is simple: the Theater District sits immediately east, and the Hudson River bounds the neighborhood on the west.

Getting there and around

Hell's Kitchen is well connected. Penn Station, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues at 34th Street, and the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue are close by; La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Times Square South is around 0.9 miles (1.4 km) from Penn Station. Grand Central Terminal is a short crosstown trip east. The subway runs 24 hours, and you tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstiles. JFK and Newark Liberty are around 14 miles (22.1 km) from La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Times Square South, typically 45 to 75 minutes by road and rail depending on traffic. LaGuardia is nearest by road. Vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street pay a congestion toll; check current rules.

Nearby sights and food

The Intrepid Museum, on a pier on the Hudson at West 46th Street, is the nearest large sight, a short walk west from most of the district. MoMA sits on West 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, and the American Museum of Natural History is a crosstown trip to Central Park West. Broadway's theaters cluster around Times Square, with about 40 houses; evening curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show. Hudson Yards and the Vessel lie to the south. Observation decks at Rockefeller Center, on the Empire State Building and at Hudson Yards, plus Grand Central Terminal, are a short ride east.

Eating is the district's other draw. Ninth Avenue carries the widest spread: Thai, Greek, Mexican, Italian and Middle Eastern kitchens, ramen shops, taquerias, pizza counters and bakeries, mostly casual and many open late. Restaurant Row on West 46th Street gathers pre-theater dining rooms in a single block, and the side streets add delis, diners and coffee bars. Menus are usually posted outside, which helps when choosing. West of Ninth Avenue the pace slows, with neighborhood places serving the people who live nearby. Book ahead for dinner on show nights, and expect the busiest tables between 6 and 8 pm.

A day from La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Times Square South

A day from La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Times Square South starts early, walking west to the Hudson while the waterfront paths and piers are still quiet. Head north along the river to the Intrepid Museum; check opening hours before setting out. Come back east for lunch around Ninth Avenue, where the choice is widest and tables turn quickly. The afternoon suits a museum: MoMA is a walk east and north, and the American Museum of Natural History sits across the park. Return to the district for an early dinner on Restaurant Row, then a Broadway show, with curtains typically at 7 or 8 pm. Check the show's start time. Afterward, Ninth Avenue stays open for a late bite.
