The Neighborhood

In one of the most coveted areas of Manhattan, lies Chelsea. There are quiet, tree-lined streets teem with friendly residents and homegrown shops. Home to Chelsea Market, a food hall/ shopping mall/ office building and television production facility located in the former National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) factory complex where the Oreo Cookie was invented and produced. Most of the shops are operated by the descendants of the families who established the neighborhood. Meanwhile, on and off 14th St, the offerings multiply, with hand-crafted espresso, mid-century furniture and salt-water bagels. Experimental movie theaters thrive next to independent bookshops, an indoor skate bowl, a bowling alley and the borough’s most extensive organic farmer's Market, Union Square Greenmarket.
