To write my first blog post, I started listing some of my favorite places in New York. To my slight surprise, a large amount of them ended up being in Chelsea. Here's a taste of the cozy, artsy, cheap side of New York...all in nine blocks.
2:30pm
Café Grumpy
224 West 20th Street
I've had a lot of coffee in my day, and Café Grumpy still stands out. The atmosphere is cozy, and friendly to loungers -- no laptops allowed.
4:00pm
Pippin Vintage Jewelry
112 West 17th Street
A nicely edited selection of vintage brooches, cuff links, scarves, and earrings. Surprisingly inexpensive, with most pieces ranging from $15-40.
5:00pm
High Line Park
529 West 20th Street
Out-of-use elevated train track lines were used to create this amazing walkway and park. A perfect mixture of urban and nature, with pretty views to watch the sun set if you stick around long enough.
7:00pm
Upright Citizen’s Brigade
307 West 26th Street
Great comedy nearly every night, with only a $5-10 cover charge. Unpolished but charming, with talents famous and not.
