AREA DESCRIPTION

West Chelsea has become an emerging fashionable neighborhood and a new center for art galleries, boutiques, clubs and residential development. West Chelsea was a neglected City neigh- borhood until galleries forced out of SoHo due to high rents began moving into West Chelsea between 10th and 11th Avenue. This area has become the epicenter of art and is now known as the “Gallery District”. Over 250 art galleries have moved to West Chelsea in the last 10 years. SU MM ARY
