You were coming from the west (I just assumed you were driving in from the Island), so depending on which exit you took from the tunnel, you may have passed Penn Station.
Most of the exits from the Lincoln Tunnel are in the "heart" of Hell's Kitchen.
BTW - There's a really good movie ("Sleepers") about four guys who grew up in Hell's Kitchen (and some real life filming there). Robert DeNiro has a part in it, playing a priest, and Bruno Kirby (young Clemenza) has a small role as one of the kid's father. I'd recommend this movie to everyone!
