Message from Natasha Ibrahim

Chelsea, located on the West Side of Manhattan in New York City, is a vibrant neighborhood known for its mix of residential buildings, art galleries, and diverse retail businesses. Named after the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, it has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. With a large LGBTQ population, Chelsea is also a hub for the city's art scene, boasting over 200 galleries. Over the years, the neighborhood has seen gentrification, leading to a contrast between luxury living and housing projects. Despite its changing landscape, Chelsea remains a dynamic and culturally rich area that attracts residents and visitors alike.
