 Once
a working class community, Chelsea has also become a posh
address. As rents in Greenwich Village rose, the vibrant artistic
community moved upwards to occupy Chelsea's many brownstones
and loft spaces. Others followed, and today it reflects all
of New York's ethnic and cultural diversity.
It's a neighborhood on the West Side of Manhattan. It's located
to the south of Hell's Kitchen and the Garment District, and
north of Greenwich Village, and the Meatpacking District that
centers on West 14th Street.
Most recently, Chelsea has become an alternative shopping
destination with Barneys CO-OP - which replaced the much larger
original Barneys flagship store, Comme Des Garcons, Balenciaga,
Alexander McQueen, Diane Von Furstenberg, Stella McCartney,
& Christian Louboutin. Chelsea Market, on the ground floor
of the former NABISCO Building, is a destination for food
lovers.
