Chelsea

Chelsea is located to the south of Clinton and the Garment District, and north of Greenwich Village. It is named after the former residence, "Chelsea" of the Moore Family. From 20th to 22nd street between Ninth and Tenth avenue, mid-nineteenth century brick and brownstone townhouses are still occupied, a few even restored to private use. Chelsea has become a center of the New York art scene, as an increasing number of art galleries have moved there from SoHo. Chelsea is a hotspot for nightlife in New York City as well, containing some of New York City's most famous clubs. It also contains the Highline. This project as a whole is 13 miles long, eliminating 105 street-level railroad crossings and adding 32 acres to Riverside Park.
