If you love art and are heading for New York City in the near future, boy do we have a destination for you. Yes, be sure and visit all the major museums that the city has to offer, but also make time (at least a day or two) to walk the streets of Chelsea.
Located in western Manhattan, the approximately 170 block area features over 230 art galleries with more coming. The majority of the galleries are mom-and-pop operations that get to choose what works will be displayed. This gives you a wide variety of art to view, and you can do much of it right from the sidewalk without ever going inside.
To read more about this incredible area of New York City, I recommend you read this fabulous article about Chelsea's art galleries that recently appeared in the New York Times. Go to:
