Hell Gate NYC is an online worker-owned publication focused on local New York City news.[2][3] The publication is named after the Hell Gate Bridge, due to the bridge's reputation for tenacity.[4][5] Hell Gate covers a wide range of topics that include, but are not limited to, political corruption, local street performers, and strange subway advertisements.[6] The company is headquartered in a co-working space in Brooklyn.[5]
