The restaurant’s website calls the corner of West 39th and Ninth Avenue as "tucked away in a subtler section of the city." Well, that’s one way to put it. Or, you could say that, until recently, you probably should have approached this part of town in a Sherman tank.
But even this raw section of Hell’s Kitchen hard by the Lincoln Tunnel entrance has become tamed of late. Even with the demise of the lamented Siberia around the corner, the adjacent lounge, also called HK, has become a Mecca for the young, the hip and the beautiful.
