About this activity
On this two-hour tour, we’ll walk through the Meatpacking and Chelsea neighborhoods, and we'll see contemporary buildings by international ‘starchitects’ Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel, Zaha Hadid and more. As we head north on and near the High Line, we’ll discuss the history of this elevated park and check out its public sculpture program. We’ll also consider Chelsea’s ever-evolving history and the handsome 19th century residences and buildings that add to the area’s charm. Chelsea is also New York’s biggest art gallery district, and during the art season (Sept - June), our tour may include a visit to one or two of the most important art exhibitions of the moment in beautifully repurposed or new spaces.

Your tour guide’s art tours have been featured in The New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler magazine, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Tennis Channel, Conde Nast Traveler, The Mandarin Oriental, and Philadelphia Magazine and she will put together an itinerary that will take you to the most talked-about architecture and art exhibitions of the moment.
