Discover Chelsea
The premier arts district of NYC, Chelsea’s dining scene is refreshingly low-key—a nice counterpoint to the world-renowned galleries. The nearby High Line has brought more foot traffic to the formerly quiet industrial area, and the influx of energy is reflected in the new crop of restaurants. Get a bite or nosh at one of the buzzing coffee shops or acclaimed tapas spots. For heartier fare, affordable Mexican, messy pulled pork sandos, and raved-about ramen round out the best of the casual options. Good taste isn’t just for the art world, and this downtown neighborhood puts that on full display.
