Hell’s Kitchen Dessert Tour

About the neighbourhood

Between 34th and 57th streets, and 8th avenue and the Hudson River, lies Hell’s Kitchen. This iconic New York City neighbourhood has some of the sweetest treats around which you’ll discover with your professional tour guide.

Once a popular neighbourhood for the Irish escaping the great famine, Hell’s Kitchen used to be a very rough neighbourhood with plenty of gang activity. It is said the police would only go there in daylight and in groups of 3 and more!

Your sweet adventure will include a history lesson on this once-gritty area. Listen to captivating stories about the past as well as the legends surrounding the neighbourhood’s intriguing name. You’ll also learn about the historical and gastronomic significance of 9th Avenue, a culinary mecca.
