Hell's Kitchen, also known as Clinton and Midtown West, is a neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City that includes roughly the area between 34th Street and 57th Street, from 8th Avenue to the Hudson River.
The neighborhood provides transportation, hospital and warehouse infrastructure support to the Midtown Manhattan business district. Its gritty reputation had depressed real estate prices relative to much of the rest of Manhattan until the early 1990s.
Throughout its history, Hell's Kitchen has figured prominently in the New York City underworld, especially in Irish-American organized crime circles. Gangsters like Owney Madden, bootleggers like Bill Dwyer, and Westies leaders Jimmy Coonan and Mickey Featherstone were Hell's Kitchen natives. The rough and tumble days on the West Side figure prominently in Damon Runyon stories. The conflicts between Puerto Ricans and Irish formed the basis of West Side Story. In the Marvel comics universe, Hell's Kitchen is the headquarters of Irish American crimefighter Daredevil, nemesis of the underworld boss The Kingpin.
Once a bastion of poor and working-class Irish-Americans, over the last three decades of the 20th century and into the new century, Hell's Kitchen has undergone tremendous gentrification due to its proximity to Midtown. However, this has been a long and steady process; indeed, even as long ago as the 1960s. The 1969 edition of the Plan for New York City book authored by the City Planning Commission stated that people of modest means were being driven from the area by development pressures due to the Midtown location. Today, a great number of actors have resided in the neighborhood thanks to its proximity to the Broadway theaters and The Actors Studio training school. The gay population has also become more prominent in the area thanks to the proximity of Broadway theaters along with an increasing number of bars, restaurants and shops targeting the gay community.

In Boston it's the Irish part of town.

it's a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York, as well as a reality TV Show. And if you saw the show, you'd know why they call it that because working in a kitchen with chef Gordon Ramsey would be Hell. He makes Simon Cowell seem nice :p

It is a television show but the expression comes from the ironic, Hotter than Hell's Kitchen, meaning that the hottest kitchen ever would be in Hell and that it would be awfully hot there.
