Hood Cleaning in Midtown Manhattan

Midtown Manhattan is NYC's busiest commercial kitchen corridor — home to hundreds of hotels, restaurants, corporate cafeterias, and food halls between 34th and 59th Streets. Empire Hoods provides scheduled and emergency hood cleaning to keep these high-volume operations fire-code compliant.

The stretch between 34th and 59th Streets contains the highest concentration of hotel kitchens in the Western Hemisphere. Brands like the Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton, and boutique properties along Park and Lexington Avenues all operate high-volume kitchens serving hundreds of guests daily. These kitchens need quarterly or monthly hood cleaning to stay NFPA 96 compliant, and they need it done during overnight hours when the kitchen is closed and housekeeping has the least disruption.

Beyond hotels, Midtown's food halls — including Urbanspace Vanderbilt, Gotham West Market, and the dining concourse at Grand Central — pack dozens of individual cooking operations under one roof. Each vendor may cook differently, but the shared exhaust system requires coordinated, professional cleaning. Empire Hoods manages the scheduling and logistics so building management doesn't have to.
