Make the most of Chelsea! 2 Tours in 1! Begin this event with a 90 min cruise aboard the elegant 1920's style yacht MANHATTAN. Her glassed-in observatory features a full bar, breath-taking views & Gatsby-esque glamour.

Along the route, NYC's iconic waterside sites include:

  • West Side Starchitecture on the Hudson: Frank Geary's IAC, Andre Balazs' Standard Hotel & Richard Meier's Glass Towers
  • Battery Park, South Street Seaport & Financial District
  • Governor's Island, Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

Starting at the historic Chelsea Piers - home of the Cunard ships of the 1910's, Matt leads you on a 90 minute walking tour through Chelsea & the High Line District.

Spring 2009 marks the opening of the greatly anticipated High Line Park - a salvaged elevated rail system of the 1930's transformed into a modern day leisure landscape. Following the High Line route, Matt leads you through the notable Art Gallery District, past several Chelsea landmarks, Chelsea Market - home of the Food Network, Morimoto, Emeril Live, Sarabeth's & Amy's Bread, and a series of famous restaurants.
