Chelsea has always been one of New York City’s most vibrant and diverse communities. Its roots are blue collar industrial, which is reflected in the many old brick buildings and an architectural style that was originally meant to be more practical than flashy.
What’s Old is New
However, the spirit of Chelsea has evolved quite a lot throughout the years. Beyond some of those plain brick facades that were once warehouses and factories, you will find some incredible luxury apartments, condos and co-ops. There has been plenty of new development, as well, thus creating a unique contrast between the bold modern architecture and the neighborhood’s more historic qualities.
The West Chelsea Scene
On the west side of Chelsea past 10th Avenue, you find one of the city’s most influential art scenes. Along with the many art galleries, you will find a plethora of fine dining restaurants and great nightlife spots to choose from. During the day, you might find yourself perusing antique shops and flea markets, taking a stroll along The High Line or eating at one of delicious eateries at Chelsea Market or in the Meatpacking District. At night, you can live it up at a local speakeasy or dance club. If you have eclectic tastes, you will love Chelsea!
