Rough and tough bikers, big brawny meatpackers, uptown girls in limousines and world-renowned photographers and models all stand steps away from each other at Hogs and Heifers, Jeffrey, Pastis and the fashion-photo studios of Industria. This is the Meatpacking District in a nutshell. For wine connoisseurs there is Rhone, a converted garage space that has no sign and no obvious entry, save a few Alice in Wonderland doors made of steel that all look alike. The tall glass windows give away the candle-lit revelers and diners within. After-party and disco babes love the 24-hour cuisine at the French diner Florent. After 5 am, it fills up with drag queens and Naomi Campbell look-alikes. Chelsea, however, is really about streets flooded with galleries for Manhattan’s young and famous artists. Andrea Rosen, Barbara Gladstone and Matthew Marks run three of the art scene's most provoking and long-standing (in this fickle city) galleries. Chelsea also appeals to and has drawn in members of New York’s gay and gay-friendly communities. Its fresh new restaurants, amazing food markets and well preserved architecture are truly an insider’s haven in New York.
