Although it’s only a residential neighborhood, Chelsea is famed for its diverse and multicultural population, which is reflected in its versatile bars and shops. The staple of the district is The High Line , a unique park built on a deserted, elevated railway. Besides for its relaxing greenery, it also offers splendid views of Chelsea and its surrounding neighborhoods. Hudson River Park is just as beautiful, and also offers a broad range of activities, including mini golf course and carousels. 

Except for its lovely parks, Chelsea is also popular among artists, which is easy to notice in it’s gallery district, that hosts almost 200 art galleries. If you want to shop local goods, visit the Chelsea Market that’s just as interesting for its historic architecture as it is for its versatile offer of vendors and eateries. If you’d like a more upscale place to eat, visit one of the most famous restaurants in New York The Frying Pan Restaurant, located on a pear near Hudson River. In the evening visit the famous Sid Gold’s Request Room or catch a live show at Highline Ballroom.
