Its not that bad, but if you see this guy, run in the other direction.

You should be okay, manhattan is pretty safe since so many people are usually around. People who live in manhattan have money, except the people in public housing.

if you like hookers and crack heads hells kitchen is the place to stay

Hells Kitchen is a nice neighbourhood and about a 5 to 10 minute walk from Times Square

$125 is really cheap for that area!! Nice find

Hells Kitchen is pretty much the best unknown area in NYC for Good food, i was there a few days ago for some awesome japanese. Its a 5-10 minute walk to Times Square and is a very safe area with tons of cool bars and places to eat

hells kitchen must have changed a lot since i lived in the city

It's fine. Hipsters and all night diners.

It is not far from time square. I don't recall any nice hotels in that area though.

It has, dramatically. We lived in Hell's Kitchen for years before it got gentrified. It's a completely different neighborhood today.

The realtor's name for it is now "Clinton". Amusing, because "Chelsea" is the neighborhood to the immediate South. So if you're around 34th Street on the far West Side, you're effectively spending time in "Chelsea-Clinton". :)

Ah the good old days. I used to buy traci lords videos right across the street from the NY times building. Sadly the personality of times square is long, long gone.
