Chelsea is the district directly north of Greenwich Village. The southern parts of it look and feel like the West Village but as you get further north it becomes a modern boomtown with a great deal of new buildings going up.

The highlights were the highline and Chelsea Market. The highline is an elevated park created from an old railway track that is no longer in use. The Chelsea Market is a very neat market in the old National Biscuit Company (NaBisCo) factory. Well worth the effort getting there.
