We find ourselves explaining where we got our name from… a lot.

No, we are not Death Metal or Goth freaks- The Hell Gate is an actual bridge in Astoria Queens- a unique, beautiful, gothic style railroad bridge  & synonymous with the East River view to take we have on life from Queens NY.
We chose not to go down the Donald Trump school of naming routes (random use of latin) or name ourselves or play the bullshit bingo option of using a variation on “stock” “pic” “foto” etc etc – the fodder stock school of no imagination.

A beautiful photograph of the Hell Gate bridge from the 1940s  is in the  link here, you’ll have to scroll down a bit to get to it – the actual website of the  NYC Municipal online photo gallery is currently down because so many people logged onto it yesterday .
