I love this deep dive into the Chelsea neighborhood. I used to sneak up to the High Line in the late 90s and these photos are exactly as I remembered. Up until recently, I worked in one of the huge, block long buildings on 10th ave. I hope the neighborhood still retains its arts roots and doesn't turn into another Soho. So far, it has, and I love seeing young people crowd the galleries on opening nights.
This article is amazing as always I can really tell your daughter is your inspiration
She is bussin’, no cap
More food history and NYC cowboys too. Excellent again. Thank you Rob.
Thanks Barry! Back in that neck of the woods this week.
Death Ave - that's amazing. That photo with the cowboy in front of the train almost looks unreal. Wonderful photos and essay as always.
Thanks Alon! You know if you need to bring in cowboys to keep people from getting run over by trains you have an urban planning problem on your hands!
Yes, definitely a problem for pedestrians... train always wins. Congratulations on the T Magazine piece!!
Thanks!
commenting so I remember to check out the Chelsea hotel documentary
