A
NEIGHBORHOOD
that has seen a great deal of recent change,
Chelsea was a quiet enclave of 19th-century brownstones that
never made it as a fashionable address. Now it is a hub for gay New
Yorkers and center for the city's avant-garde art galleries. Buildings
along 6th Avenue are now occupied by superstores and discount
outlets, and to the west, Chelsea Piers has transformed the waterfront.
Uptown, the Garment District begins around 27th Street, with Herald Square
and Macy's at the heart of the city's busiest shopping area.
