515 West 18th Street, Chelsea/Hudson Yards, Manhattan, NY 10011

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.
