Midtown West , previously know as
"Hell's Kitchen", is home to some of Manhattans Times
Square, the ever popular theater district and of course world
class shopping and dining. Along with Times Square, this area
also is home to the Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center
and the soon to be AOL Time Warner Center.
"West of 5th avenue is the Theater district and Times Square,
If you have not been here in while you will be amazed at the complete
revitalization of the area. Gone are the seedy strip clubs and
Peep Shows. Many of the landmark theaters have been restored to
their former glory. The lights of Times Square and the Spectacular
neon signs are a real draw for tourists. See the famous Times
Building where the Ball drops on New Years Eve. The MTV studios
draw a sidewalk crowd as well as the studios for Good Morning
America. If you have kids you can stop by the Biggest toy store
in the world the brand new Toys R US." From Mustseenewyork.com
