Chelsea featuring a city

Live the New York life you dreamed of in Chelsea, an upscale district packed with contemporary art galleries, converted warehouse spaces, queer-friendly bars and food trends.

Whether it’s art, food, shopping or nightlife, Chelsea pulls it all off with style. This charming district took over long ago from SoHo as Manhattan’s hub for small and cutting-edge art galleries. The creativity doesn’t end with contemporary art, though, as Chelsea’s many pioneering eateries will show you. To top it all off, Chelsea is home to the iconic High Line, a beloved public park that was built along an elevated railway track.
