Chelsea/Hudson Yards

Chelsea Mews is a former industrial building built in 1910 and fully renovated into loft apartments in 1984. Beautiful terra cotta adorns the building which was recently returned to perfection. Just over 100 loft co-ops comprise the building ranging from studio lofts to two-bedrooms with a number of combinations yielding three-bedrooms, over 11’ beamed ceilings and decorative fireplaces in many units. Amenities include a 24-hour attended lobby, common roofdeck, live-in super, nicely renovated halls and laundry on every floor. November 2013


THE CHELSEA MEWS

As one of New York City’s most well-known sections, it’s a bit jarring to learn how expansive an area Chelsea is. You may solely think of the cozy restaurants or the art galleries or the High Line, but from 14th Street to 34th and Sixth Avenue to the Hudson, Chelsea is all those things and more. Seems like way too much to travel? Worry not: Because of its breadth, Chelsea is beyond well-serviced by the subway and can be experienced along the F and M lines on Sixth, the 1, 2, and 3 on Seventh, and the A, C, and E on Eighth. Even the 7 train is nearby, just beyond the border with Hudson Yards. Perhaps this is partly why the neighborhood has become synonymous with the city experience: If you’re going to Manhattan, you’re certainly going to spend time in Chelsea.

Chelsea the neighborhood takes its name from “Chelsea,” an estate and Georgian-style house owned by Thomas Clarke — grandfather of writer Clement Clarke Moore — in the mid-18th century. Though the neighborhood would become a buzzing industrial center in the 19th century, it was (for a brief period) considered the theater capital of America and an early center for the pre-World War One motion picture industry. But while the theater district moved uptown and film to the West Coast, Chelsea has maintained its connection to the arts. Over 200 galleries can be found in the area today, heavily concentrated between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues and 16th and 28th Streets, exhibiting established and emerging artists. The galleries are not to mention some of Chelsea’s museums and performance spaces, showcasing under-represented art, dance, and music. Chelsea is considered a diverse and inclusive part of the city, reflected in its eternal arty spirit.

History & Culture

Befitting a neighborhood renowned for diversity and inclusion, the food scene in Chelsea follows suit. A host of global cuisines are found right along time-honored favorites, either as restaurants or as food hall outposts. If you’re in the mood for drinks, Chelsea allows you to partake on rooftops, in hidden speakeasies, or at your standard cocktail bar — on the ground and perfectly visible from the street. While shopping, you are just as likely to find something new to love from a designer brand storefront as you are something vintage from an independent designer at a flea market. Familiar big-box brands stocking the essentials sit along Sixth Avenue. On abandoned, repurposed freight train tracks, the High Line snakes above Chelsea’s western streets. The raised park offers a pleasant north-south trip, can connect you between dining or shopping destinations, and provides the chance for a different, slightly elevated perspective on New York.
