My TOP 5 Things to Do in Chelsea NYC

- High Line Park: The High Line is the most unique park New York has to offer. It’s an elevated park located near the Hudson River. Why is it elevated? Because it used to be a freight rail line, which ceased services in 1980.
- Edge Hudson Yards: enjoy breath-taking views
- The Frying Pan Restaurant:From here, you can enjoy not only excellent food, but also beautiful views of both Manhattan’s skyline and New Jersey. We particularly recommend a visit during sunset!

I love the High Line and the Chelsea district, because this part shows in a very small area what New York is all about and has to offer.

And at the same time you see the new New York with many galleries, small boutiques and wonderful cafes.
The High Line connects New York’s oldest district (Meatpacking District) with the newest district (Hudson Yards). On this 2 hour walking tour you will learn a lot about it and get great impressions of NYC. Moreover, the view from the High Line on the Streets and Avenues, the Hudson River and the Empire State Building is something very special!
