Hell's Kitchen

Hell's Kitchen is a neighborhood located in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, New York. It is located between 34th Street and 59th Street, from 8th Avenue to the Hudson River. The name is derived from a comment once said by infamous frontiersman Davy Crockett when referring to the Irish slum of Five Points. He said, "In my part of the country, when you meet an Irishman, you find a first-rate gentleman; but these are worse than savages; they are too mean to swab hell's kitchen".

Hell's Kitchen is a major setting of the Marvel Comics comic book series Daredevil. It is the base of operations for the titular costumed hero, whose real name is Matt Murdock. As Daredevil, Murdock is the guardian protector of Hell's kitchen and is in a constant struggle to free it from the criminal enterprises of Wilson Fisk - the Kingpin of crime.

During an even known as ""Shadowland", Hell's Kitchen was largely destroyed. Daredevil became the leader of an assassin's guild known as the Hand, who constructed a castle fortress in it's place, which has hence become known as Shadowland.
