"Lou Walters Way"
This street was recently honored for its historical significance in the Broadway and show business world of New York City. Previously the home of "The Latin Quarter", a famed nightclub which opened in 1942. Lou Walters is the father of Barbara Walters and Mayor Bloomberg named 48th and Broadway Lou Walters Way in his honor. This area is, or course, also a glamor on its own, for it is right in the middle of Times Square, the part of the City that truly never sleeps. On this street you can find quite a few hotels, including the Belvedere hotel, so it lends itself to being more of a tourist friendly area than anything else. If you're not a fan of the bright lights and the commotion of Times Square, you can always head further West to the upper reaches of Riverside Drive and Hudson River park, where it coincides with W48th street.

"Cooling off after Hell's Kitchen"
After stuffing your self in Hell’s Kitchen, this street is great place to walk off your food belly or to find some dessert. You’ll find Hell’s Kitchen Park, which was must contested for in the other fully concrete neighborhood. This half-acre park is wonderful place to relax and to take a date. You’re also not a far walk to catch of view of the Hudson at night, which could be a nice close to a wonderful evening. All in all, this street isn’t as exciting as other areas of Hell’s Kitchen, but is a nice ending to a great day in this dynamic part of the city.
