What to do and see in Chelsea, New York (NY): The Best Things to do
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

There was not a bad seat in the house for our latest visit to view Soledad Barrio's Nacho Flamenco. It was pleasure to view this master dancer and the new talent emerging in her company.

Came in with a friend to see the museum - a wonderful collection of eclectic pieces from the old world. Fascinating displays and very well- versed tour guide (Danihl) who gave us some super insight into the world of the Cold War. Highly recommended.

A Night with the Piano Man - Billy Joel - although he's 70 and it's his 112th time in Madison Square Garden (The Garden) - he still delivers a great and magically performance with an 2 hours of musical treats from his amazing singing career. A totally and absolutely fantastic experience, sometimes dreams do come true. The Garden is a magnificent concert stage with perfect sound, video screens and lighting. Great seats. The food service and selection is great and you are meet with service minded personal from outside the stadium to the seating inside. #billyjoel #billyjoelmsg #live #madisonsquaregarden #thegarden #nyc #manhattan #magic #dreamscometrue

We LOVED the Chelsea Market from the history of the building (old Nabisco factory), art at every turn, delicious food stalls and artisan market we could have spent hours here easily! Adjacent to the High Line, it was a perfect way to spend a day!

This is a great museum. There are three galleries, one devoted to special exhibits. All the exhibits change every 6 month as they rotate through their 50,000 garments covering 250 years of fashion. The special exhibit gallery was closed when I went, as it was preparing for an opening of a new exhibit the following week: Ballerina: Fashion's Modern Muse. I'm going to try and get back for that! This is not a large museum and that it's free is a real bonus! Definitly worth a stop. The hours are: Tues - Fri Noon - 8pm Saturday 10am - 5pm Closed Sundays, Mondays, and the following legal holidays: July 4th,Thanksgiving Day,Christmas Day,New Year’s Day

I was flying nine hours on the plane from Munich just to finally visit The Rubin. It was an excellent decision to do so. My expectations were highly exceeded. I had the honor to sit in the stunning Shrine Room with the amazing Tashi Chodron throughout an awakening practice. It was magical. Afterwords the fascinating and warm hearted Tashi invited me for tea and I learned even more about Tibetan Buddhism. I also participated in the "Rethink your future" workshop with German Prof. Gabriele Oettingen. We went through a couple of very emotional cases and I thought The Rubin is just the right place for this. The entire setting is breathtaking, and of very high standard. There are a lot of things going on at The Rubin and I had the feeling that a little sympathetic community had formed since people were just dropping in all the time who all knew each other to have tea or something to eat in the nice restaurant. Also the bookstore is absolutely great. Everybody was so friendly and welcoming. I wish we had this in Germany. I'm very grateful I could experience this. It won't be long and I will be back for more. Thank you, Rubin!!
