Morning
Wind your way through Chelsea, starting with the megastores now occupying former “Fashion Row,” on 6th Avenue (see 6th Avenue Shopping) between 18th and 23rd streets. Walk west on 16th Street to 9th Avenue and Chelsea Market, a one-time Nabisco factory where the first Oreo cookies were made, now a block-long line of stalls offering all manner of food. The Food Network tapes its TV shows in a street-level studio here.
Continue up 9th Avenue to 20th Street, for the Chelsea Historic District and General Theological Seminary. Then head for the ever-expanding “Gallery Row,” from 21st to 24th streets, 10th to 11th avenues. A good lunch bet in the neighborhood is The Red Cat , offering Mediterranean fare.
Afternoon
Walk east on 23rd Street to the Chelsea Hotel (see Chelsea Hotel), and when you get to 6th Avenue, turn uptown for the big antiques market and the colorful Flower District . A stroll for one block further west on 27th brings you to the Fashion Institute of Technology, where the gallery usually has interesting displays.
Head for one of the great hidden treasures in this area, St. John the Baptist Church, at 210 East 31st Street, whose dingy façade belies a glowing Gothic interior. Continue to 34th Street for Herald Square and Macy’s.
