Midtown isn’t a neighborhood

What do you call the area around like 50th and 6th?

I'd call it Rockefeller center but ok fine yeah midtown. but like most of what people call midtown isn't midtown. It's just they don't know the real neighborhood names.

Super correct, and Hell’s Kitchen is formally known as both Clinton and Midtown West. Hell’s Kitchen is an informal name.

Yes what happened to it being called Clinton

HK is the term I use with my NYC people, but I use Midtown West to non-NYC people because it geographically explains better where it is. But the most correct name is “Clinton” for sure.

Wasn't Clinton just a PR push by realtors because people didn't want to live in place called Hell's Kitchen? Literally every person from the city calls it HK.

That kind of corroborates what I said right? The page almost exclusively refers to it as HK and says that "Clinton" was offered as an alternative by real estate developers.

“Hudson Yards” hasn’t caught on yet? 🤪
