Neighborhood Stories

Upper Chelsea near the Flatiron section is an area with four supermarkets; Whole Foods at 250 7th Ave, Trader Joe's at 675 6th Ave, Fairway Market at 766 6th Ave, Eataly at 200 Fifth Ave. All offer a good selection of foods for all palates.

Emily R. Fuller

As a longtime resident of Chelsea, no other place in the city so vividly exemplifies the old and the new like the High line. Stretching from Gansevoort all the way to West 34th Street and straddling the Hudson river, providing viewing spots of the statue of liberty, Meatpacking, Little Island, Hudson yards and even a stunning Instagram worthy picture of 23rd street stretching all the way to the East side. Make multiple stops on the way: The Whitney, Little Island, Chelsea market, Hudson Yards and take in the unique juxtaposition of metal, wood, steel with the beautiful and varied greenery and flowering blossoms against stunning architecture from buildings like Zaha Hadid, the lantern building and pre-war lofts as you stroll along. A perfect stroll that defines New York. Not to be missed!
