Street is lined with lots of interesting restaurants, many of which have sidewalk seating. Ate at Cafeteria and wasn't disappointed!

Chelsea has many excellent restaurants, the wonderful Joyce Theater for Dance, and is an authentic NYC neighborhood with its own charms. I feel safe to walk around at night and enjoy the community feel to it.

I have visitied NYC many times, each time looking for something new/different that I have yet to do. This visit to the City it was a bit rainy so we decided to venture to Chelsea Market which is all indoors. The decor is great and really catches your eye, but the bakery shops inside are what will catch your interest!... More

Chelsea Hotel is an iconic and historic cultural site, home - temporary and permanent - to writers, rockers, painters, sculptors...I used to stay there when I lived out of town. A piece of the cultural underworld.

Chelsea runs roughly from 15th Street to 34th Street between the Hudson River and Sixth Ave, and is indeed an eclectic part of NYC.
