In the latter half of the 19th century, Chelsea went from being a bucolic suburb to an industrialized city neighborhood, with smoke-belching factories lining the Hudson River, including a former Nabisco production facility, which is now Chelsea Market.
Today, its attractions remain numerous, including bustling 14th Street to the south, the twisting elevated path of the High Line running like the neighborhood’s backbone, the Fashion Institute of Technology, and the boutique hotels and art galleries serving as a buffer between residential Chelsea and the Hudson River. The precise borders are controversial, but for the purposes of this map, the neighborhood runs from around Sixth Avenue on the east to the Hudson River on the west and from 14th Street on the south to 30th Street on the north.
What’s changed in this update: We’ve added Markette and Konban; we’ve removed Ddobar by Joomak, Swagat, and Rangoon (all three have closed), along with Sullivan Street Bakery and Portale.
