Highline/ Chelsea Tour

New York is a city of neighborhoods, and few districts have changed over the city's 400-year history more than Chelsea and the West Side. This area has been home to military forts, the meat packing industry, maritime trade, factories, and the Trans-Atlantic passenger trade. Chelsea boosts fascinating connections, from George Washington to Prohibition, to World War II and the Mafia, even the R.M.S. Titanic, and a particular gentleman in a red suit who visits once a year on Christmas Eve. Join us for a Highline Chelsea Tour and uncover the fascinating story of Chelsea—from its industrial roots to its vibrant present. Learn how this iconic neighborhood has evolved into a symbol of renewal and rebirth in the ever-changing landscape of New York City. The tour also includes a walk along the Highline, one of the most unique parks in N.Y.C. Constructed on a long abandoned rail line, it now boasts gardens and other features. You'll enjoy a leisurely walk along the park, from Gansevoort Street in the Village to Hudson Yards.
