Chelsea is on the West Side and encompasses the blocks from 39th and 15th Streets between the Hudson River and Fifth Avenue. Chelsea is a melting pot of Manhattan scenes, and is widely considered to be both a center of the gay community, a bastion for young professionals, and an arts and culture center.

Check out the new Frank Gehry-designed apartment building on West Street features beautiful shaped glass. Chelsea is also home to some of Manhattan’s most infamous (and exclusive) nightclubs, including Marquee and Bungalow 8, which are favorites of young celebrities. Hungry? Head to the famous Empire Diner for classic eats day or night.
