The district of Chelsea garment is located at Manhattan, To new York, located southwest of Midtown and globally covering the area from 14th Street to 34th Street and west to 6th Avenue.
Popular area for its restaurants and nightlife, especially on 8th Avenue, the center of gay social life in Manhattan. One place in particular that everyone loves: Chelsea Piers. Located on the Hudson, a huge sports and entertainment complex that opened in 1995. Chelsea's frenetic growth began in the 1990s and continues today, with new towers conquering land north of Madison Square Garden, the essential sports arena located on the site of an old train station. West Madison Square Garden, on the other hand, is an area that still leaves a lot to be desired, soulless commercial and industrial.

- Greater Sichuan Chelsea (9th Av. And 24th Street) – Excellent Sichuan cuisine, for those who like to eat spicy Chinese. Stay on Sichuan and Hunan menus and special menus like “Prodigal Daughter”.

Better to book during peak hours: this restaurant is very successful.
