Summary:Hell's Kitchen is among Manhattan's most storied and studied neighborhoods. A working-class district situated next to the West Side's middle- and upper-class residential districts, it has long attracted the focus of artists and urban planners, writers and reformers.

Varga examines events and locations in a crucial period in the formation of the Hell's Kitchen neighb.
