Chelsea

highline gay mixed · 10011

Chelsea dates on a grid that knows what it is. The Highline runs through it, which means a first walk from Gansevoort to 30th doubles as a vetting exercise. Gallery row on 22nd through 26th gives you free conversation pieces Tuesday through Saturday until 6. The gay bars below 20th, Gym Sportsbar and Rebar, run loud and friendly. Cookshop at brunch still earns the wait, Cafe China on 25th does Sichuan that justifies the trek. Honest tradeoff: post-Highline cocktail prices at the Standard Biergarten assume you are expensing it. Walk one block east to Trailer Park Lounge for fifteen-dollar margaritas.
